To use numeric columns as labels convert them to text inside the IF function.Ī workaround to create “control charts” with labels is to first calculate the control limits using a control chart then create a time series plot using the control limits as reference lines.You can use numeric columns as labels but if you do so, you’ll get asterisks (*) on the points without labels. For example, if I want to use the Measurement column as labels, the IF function would be: if(‘Measurement’ > 30, Text(‘Measurement’), “”) The workaround for this is to write the IF function as follows: if( condition, Text( NumericColumn), “”). When you create a plot with panels in Minitab, the default setting is to alternate the ticks between the panels as in the figure below. My personal reference is to have the ticks for the X-axis at the bottom and the ticks for the Y-axis at the left, as shown below. If you have the same preference as me, you can go to: Tools – Options, once there go to Graphics – Panels – Options, then select ‘ Don’t alternate panels’. When you create a graph with panels in Minitab, the graph will be created with a predefined layout of panels. You can change the layout of the panels by double click on any of the panel labels, Go to Arrangement, click on Custom, change the number of rows and columns, and click OK.
The result for the previous example (4 rows x 1 column) looks like this: Another scenario you might encounter is that you have different graphs and you want to put them all together. For example, let’s say you have the following graphs created separately and you want to put them on a single graph with multiple panels.
To put them all together, go to Editor – Layout Tool, then add the graphs in the locations you want. After entering the three graphs, the result would be as follows If you want to, you can change the size of the graphs by click on the any of them and dragging the extension points (circled in green below) in the direction you want: For example, after dragging the middle-right point in the previous graph the result would be as follows: Once there, you can change the number of rows and columns as in the graph below. Notice that I added a title for the whole graph, for doing this go to Editor – Select Item – Graph Region then go to Editor – Add – Title.
