Unstacked Data Format

The quantitative data is distributed across multiple columns. Each column represents a group of the categorical variable.

With the datafile open in a StatCrunch worksheet:

Select Graph Dotplot.

Under Select Columns: choose the columns denoting the comparison groups. These are the categories of the categorical variable. (Note: you may need to hold down the CTRL or COMMAND key to make multiple selections one at a time.).

Leave the Group by: option blank.

In the Grouping options: area choose Plot groups for each column

In the Markers: area, check Mean to display the means with the dotplots.

Scroll down to the For multiple graphs: area and change Columns per page to 3 (this will graph the dotplots on one page). Also in the For multiple graphs: area check Use same X-axis. (Graphs with the same scale are easier to compare.)

Press Compute!
