Cut-pasted data from excel into JASP- Cannot change Column Type
Hi,
I cut-pasted data from Google sheets into JASP. The data looks like this- attached screenshot.
I am not able to change the column type from 'Nominal' to 'Ordinal' or 'Scale', for Columns 2 & 3
what do I do? I need a correlation analysis for th relationship between columns 2 and 3.
Please help out with this.
Thanks,
Shefali S

Dear Shefali,
This is really more of an issue for our GitHub page (for details see https://jasp-stats.org/2018/03/29/request-feature-report-bug-jasp/). But I can tell you that Nominal categories can never be changed to numerical categories (the link from a nominal scale to a numerical scale is undefined). In this case, your column is not just nominal, but it also contains text. So if you scroll down you will encounter text somewhere.
Cheers,
E.J.
