I have two separate CODAP files that I’d like to combine into a single file (so that I can “join” them, since one of the attributes is shared).  How do I get them into a single CODAP file?

Hi Andee,

1. First get both CODAP datasets in the same document. You can do this a number of ways. I find it easiest to use the Ruler menu on the case table to “Copy to Clipboard,” then create a new table and use the Ruler menu there to Import Data form Clipboard.
2. Then drag the “key” attribute (the one that has a match, the source) onto the case table in which you want the data to be joined (the destination).
3. Release. The matched rows in the destination acquire attributes from the the source.

I hope this helps,

Bill

Thanks, Bill.  I didn’t know about the “Copy to Clipboard” feature!  Cool!
