Transforms allow you to modify (or transform) the view of the data. Once generated, they can be used as a template for another action, such as applying to custom charts. Transforms are a form of data manipulation. They are centrally managed using the Transforms Manager and are saved with the project.

Note: Applying a transform results in changes to all three data views - Charts, Tables and Statistics tabs. Refer to Data manipulation.

DataManipulation
Data manipulation in Results Manager is outlined here and then in more detail in the linked sections. There are two main methods for manipulating a single result in Results Manager; applying a transform and changing the chart type. A chart type must be selected and can be changed in the Chart tab. Applying a transform is optional. Both of these changes will affect your result in all three data views (Chart, Table and Statistics; Figure #A). For example, if you add a date filter and change the chart type to cumulative, the statistics will update to reflect both these manipulations, ie. the mean will be the mean of the filtered, cumulative data. Note that filtering your data using the search feature in the Table tab does not affect the chart or the statistics.
