When
Selecting Data Elements:
Most data
elements are grouped logically. For example, when selecting "Graduation or Attendance"
then "Attendance," a group of 35 fields will be included in the
downloaded data. Accessing the Master
Reference for Data Elements Used in AYP (upper right corner of
the Download html page) will provide a more detailed description of the downloaded
elements.
When Selecting
File Format:
When
using comma delimited, tab delimited, or fixed format, the data element or variable
name will be on the first row of the downloaded file. Refer to the Master
Reference for Data Elements Used in AYP link in the first paragraph
for a more detailed description of the downloaded elements.
Note that these files exceed 64K, and should therefore be viewed using
software such as Wordpad or database software. Versions of Microsoft Office software prior to Microsoft Office
2007, such as Access 2003 (maximum 255 fields) or Excel 2003 (maximum 256 fields) are limited in the number
of fields processed. Microsoft Office 2007 software, including Access 2007 and Excel 2007, will import and
load all fields and do not have field size restrictions. If these software applications are unable to accommodate
the download request, analysts or programmers may need to write their own data extraction
programs in order to analyze these data. Note that the maximum number of fields
used in a single file is over 400 fields for the "All Information" file.
If
you receive a "SAS-Error" message, please try your query again later.
