# Create your data selection

By default, all tracks in your experiments are selected. To refine your selection:

1.In the Components pane, click the button next to the variable you want to use.

If you do not see the Components pane, click the Show/Hide button on the toolbar and select Components.

2.A new box appears in the top-left corner of the Data Profiles window, and a new window appears on top, listing all possible values or characteristics of the chosen variable. For example, which treatment level you want to select for analysis. Choose the values that specify your selection and click OK.

3.Drag the box over the arrow that connects the two preexisting boxes. When the arrow turns white, release the mouse button.

If you do not see all buttons as shown above, click the More button.
