Example: gender can only be M or F and not male or female. Table Array - A smaller table used in a spreadsheet to store data you will look up later - like a grade to percentage look up table. Table Arguments - the left most column in the array that lists the limiting values - 0%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% Table Value - the value that is returned so if you look up 63% it would return a value of D. major sort key - the first item that a table is sorted by - Sorted By Intermediate sort key - The second item that a table is sorted by - Then By Minor sort key - The last item that is sorted by - Then By Outlining features - Gives the user the ability to hide and then unhide detail rows Row Level Symbols - Numbers at the top that signify what level of detail should be displayed Show detail symbol - a plus sign is used to expand the list and show the details Hide detail symbol - a minus sign is used to collapse the list and hide the details Row Level bar - a vertical bar is displayed to connect items of the same level Wildcards - characters that allow you to find records that contain certain characters in a field. Asterisk - used to represent any number of characters - A* means any set of characters that starts with A Question mark - used to represent one character - A? means any set of two characters where the first one is an A AND Operator - used to mean that both parts of the criteria are true OR Operator - used to mean that one or both parts of the criteria are true Extract Range - When you use a set of criteria to only look at one set of the data, the location where those records are sent is called the extract range.
