Input Data Form type

Input

int

1
Specify whether the input data is in indexed form or raw form. 0=Indexed, 1=Raw.

Note that beginning with Origin 2020b, there is a shortened syntax that follows the form [Book]Sheet!(N1:N2), N1 = the beginning column index and N2 being the ending column index in a contiguous range of columns. More complex strings from non-contiguous data of the form [Book]Sheet!([Book]Sheet!N1:N2,[Book]Sheet!N3:N4) are also possible.
Input irng

Input

Range

<active>
Specify the data to perform discrete frequency analysis.
Count freq

Input

int

1
Specify whether to calculate the count or not.
Relative Frequency perc

Input

int

0
Specify whether to calculate the relative frequency or not.
Cumulative Frequency cumul

Input

int

0
Specify whether to calculate the cumulative frequency or not.
Frequency in show

Input

int

0
Specify the show mode of the frequency. It is only available when Relative Frequency or Cumulative Frequency is checked.

Option list:

• fraction:Fraction
The frequency will be shown as fraction if it is selected.
• percent:Percent
The frequency will be shown as percent if it is selected.
Case Sensitive sensitive

Input

int

0
Specify whether or not uppercases and lowercases are considered differently.
Show Zero Count Categories zero

Input

int

0
Specify whether to list a category and show 0 as its count data when the category is not found.
Sort Data by sort

Input

int

1
Specify the output columns sorting order.

Option list:

• casc{0}:Ascending Counts
Sort output columns in ascending order according to counts.
• cdesc{1}:Descending Counts
Sort output columns in descending order according to counts.
• vasc{2}:Ascending Values
Sort output columns in ascending order according to values.
• vdesc{3}:Descending Values
Sort output columns in descending order according to values.
• cat{4}:Categorical Order
Sort output columns order according to categorical order.
