Currently when using the tranform tool to make a transformation that creates NaN's (e.g., taking log of a variable that contains zeros), the tool doesn't flag this fact. [This can then, for instance, cause student confusion when attempting to make a plot with a regression line and the line doesn't show up, and it's not clear why.]
Following (1), when attempting to make a scatterplot + regression line, with a variable containing NaN's, the line doesn't show up, but the tool doesn't flag the reason why.
Solution
When using the transform tool to create a new variable that would contain NaN's (e.g., taking log of a variable containing zeros), when you click "create new variable," it should, for instance, pop up a new dialog, with something like, "The variable you are attempting to create will contain 5 undefined values; do you wish to continue? [Yes][No]."
When using scatterplot+regression line with a variable containing NaN's, when it makes the plot, a notification should print somewhere near the plot (maybe below), with something like, "The regression line could not be computed since one or more of the variables had undefined values."
