datapisteessä

Datapisteessä is a Finnish locative form derived from the compound datapiste, meaning a single data point or observation in a dataset. The word uses the inessive suffix -ssä to indicate location or state, roughly translating to “in the data point” or “at the datapoint” in English. It is mainly a grammatical construction rather than a distinct technical term.

In statistical and data-analytic Finnish, datapisteessä is used to describe or reference information tied to a specific observation. For example, taulukon datapisteessä 23 mitattu arvo on 7,2 conveys that the measured value at datapoint 23 is 7.2. Such phrasing emphasizes granularity at the level of individual entries rather than at the level of the entire dataset or summary statistics.

The term is not a separate methodological concept; it functions as part of ordinary Finnish syntax to anchor statements to particular observations. It commonly appears in data documentation, dashboards, lab notes, and educational materials where precise reference to a specific data entry is useful. Related Finnish terms include datapiste (data point), havainto (observation), and havaintoarvo (observed value).

Because datapisteessä is a language-based expression, its use is primarily relevant for Finnish-language texts. In English or non-Finnish contexts, equivalent phrases such as “at the datapoint” or “for this data point” may be used.
