Scale From

Specifies the extent of the data to be considered for formulating the scale transform.

 

All Terms

Select this option if you want the extent of the values in the Input Range box to be used for formulating the scale transform.

 

First N Terms

Select this option if you want the extent of the first N terms of each series to be the one used for formulating the scale transform for the entire series. If you select this option, you must type the number of terms in the box to the right of this option.

 

Scale To

Specifies the extent to which the series is to be scaled.

 

Specified

Select this option to specify the extent of scaling.

 

Min. Value

Type in this box the minimum value you want to scale the series to.

 

Max. Value

Type in this box the maximum value you want to scale the series to.

 

From Range

Select this option if you want Predictive Systems Lab to retrieve the minimum and maximum values for scaling from a range of cells in the currently active worksheet. If you select this option, you must type the indicated range in the box to the right of this option. The range may contain any number of series, but exactly two entries corresponding to the minimum and maximum values in any order.

 

Series in Rows

Specifies that the values indicated by From Range is organized in rows as opposed to columns (the default).

 

NoteIf the number of series in this range is equal or larger than the number of series included in the Input Range box, each of the Input Range series is then scaled to the particular extent found in the corresponding From Range series. Otherwise, all series are scaled to the extent found in the first From Range series.

 

NoteIf you selected the Series From option First Terms, the final minimum and maximum values of the scaled series may differ from the minimum and maximum values indicated for scaling after the operation is carried if there were values outside these bounds in the remaining of the original series terms which scale to a lower or higher value when the calculated function is applied.

 

OK

Closes the dialog box and carries out this operation.

 

Cancel

Closes the dialog box without carrying out this operation.
