    Is there an easy way to combine categories in a graph?  For example, if I have small, medium, large and extra-large as categories and I want to think about them as two categories: small/medium and large/extra-large, is there a way to combine the categories without writing a formula?  (This goes along with my questions yesterday about ordered categories.)

    Hi Andee,

    It would be very nice to be able to combine categories using a graph. (TinkerPlots gives you a way of doing this.) I’ll add it as a feature request.

    You don’t have to write a formula, though. As shown in the screen capture, you can use the case table to group by the attribute that has the categories you want to combine. Create a new attribute in which you copy the existing category names, except where you want to combine.

    Hope that helps!
