to prepare and organize your data for analysis.
When the Prep Tool is open, Minitab Connect displays all your data in a spreadsheet-like interface.

- Add data to an existing table
- Export data to an external application, such as Minitab® Statistical Software
- Create a custom data view with the data fields that you specify
- Create a data subset using a filter
- Design and run a custom data preparation
- Sort the data according to a data field or data prep
- Sum the data in the fields
- Change the display orientation
- Add a note on a specific data value
- Export a data report
- Create live data transformations with custom SQL
