Inheriting Style Attributes

Changing Headings for Analysis Variables

The headings for Revenue are particularly important, so let's color their cells to match the levels of Dest. Because Revenue is an analysis variable, you need to add the STYLE= option to the VAR statement:

var boarded transferred deplaned revenue;

But if you do this, the STYLE= option will affect all four variables, not just the variable Revenue. How do you isolate Revenue? Write a second VAR statement, with Revenue as its only variable:

var boarded transferred deplaned; var revenue;

You can also use multiple CLASS and CLASSLEV statements to target specific variables for the STYLE= option.

Specifying Inheritance
Now you can add the STYLE= option, but remember that you want the Revenue cells to repeat the colors used for the Dest class levels. To specify that cells inherit the style attributes of a parent cell, use <parent> as the argument of the STYLE= option.

var revenue / style=<parent>;

Because the Revenue cells are nested beneath the Dest levels, Dest is considered the parent of Revenue. Dest is also the parent of Boarded, Transferred, and Deplaned.

Parent Cell     Copenhagen Boarded     Child Cell

Transferred     Child Cell

Deplaned     Child Cell

Revenue     Child Cell

Using the <parent> argument makes the Revenue cells repeat whatever color is used for their level of Dest.
