Getting Data

Fathom is (primarily) a tool for exploring and analyzing data. How will you get data to work with? There are several ways, depending on what data you want and in what form, if any, you have it.

I want to use some data already in Fathom: Open a Fathom Sample Document

I want to type data to work with (Hint: use a case table): Enter Data from Scratch

I have data in electronic form that I want to bring into Fathom (Hint: paste it into a collection): Copy and Paste Data from Another Program

I want to work with data about individual people from the U.S. Census: Import U.S. Census Microdata

I want to begin by simulating data (we take you on a brief tour by flipping a virtual coin): Have Fathom Randomly Generate Data
