Add Attributes by Pasting from Somewhere Else

How To... > Work with Case Tables > Add Attributes by Pasting from Somewhere Else

Suppose you have a collection of data, and you have another attribute that you want to add to the Fathom collection. If the cases are in the same order as in your case table, you can paste one or more attributes after the last attribute or insert them. (If they aren’t, you can try to Add Attributes from Another Case Table Using Table Join.)

To add attributes after the last attribute:

1.	Copy the attribute(s). (If the attributes are in Fathom, select them and choose Edit \| Copy Attributes.)

2.	Select the case table and choose Edit \| Paste Attributes.

If an attribute is selected in the case table, pasting attributes will insert them to the left of the selected attribute.

If this method doesn’t work right for some reason, consider pasting all of your data in a spreadsheet or word-processing program to get them set up in a Fathomable configuration, then pasting them into a new Fathom collection or importing them (see Paste Data into a Collection or Import Data from a Text File).
