Variable comments

by Jan 28. May 2010 13:19

Every variable in Q can have a comment added to it by right-clicking on it and selecting New Comment for Variable…. This allows you to easily work out why you did something, e.g. implemented a particular recode, because you have typed in the details.

Once you have added a comment, a little red marker lets you know that a comment exists, and you can click on the marker to go straight to the comment (just like Excel).

Thanks go to Scott Maclean for this tip.
