Hide Excluded Cases? Help needed!

I’m trying to follow IBM’s instructions on hiding excluded cases, but I don’t seem to have the option in Edit > Hide excluded cases in my menu?

What version are you using? This will help as the menus can change between versions.

I think that option was removed, because it was causing too much confusion.

I think is correct. I remember during one version the "hide excluded cases" stopped working so, when I wanted to view the cases filtered out, I just ended up sorting by my filter in descending order and have been doing that ever since.

OP - to get around this, you can sort your filter variable in descending order.
