How to Use Prism's Select and Transform Tool

Struggling to visualize tiny p-values? Tired of going back to Excel for simple data transformations? Join Professor Keenan Hartert from Minnesota State University and learn how to use Prism's powerful built-in tools to wrangle, transform, and explore your data without ever leaving the software. In this practical tutorial, you'll see real-world examples from cancer bioinformatics and biology education research, demonstrating how to: • Transform p-values using -log10 to create clear, publication-ready graphs from statistical output. • Convert raw scores to proportions and percentages instantly for easier interpretation. • Calculate row-wise statistics (like a student's average exam score) alongside column stats. • Remove a baseline (e.g., Exam 1 scores) to analyze change over time across your entire dataset. • Select and filter data on the fly to isolate specific subgroups (e.g., students who never passed, or those who improved). These skills are essential for anyone looking to streamline their workflow, avoid errors, and unlock deeper insights from their data in GraphPad Prism. Featured Datasets: • Cox regression results for student success factors • Longitudinal student exam score data OTHER FREE USEFUL TOOLS FOR RESEARCHERS Explore our educational resources to advance your knowledge of Prism, statistics and data visualization https://www.graphpad.com/resources
