Suppose you have one or more existing lists, and you want to use
those existing lists as columns in a data variable.
From the: Do this:
Data/Matrix Editor In the applicable column, use
†
to define
the column header. Refer to the existing
list variable. For example:
c1=list1
Home screen or a
program
Use the
NewData
command as described in
Appendix A. For example:
NewData
datavar, list1 [, list2] [, list3] ...
You cannot use the Data/Matrix Editor to fill a matrix with a list.
However, you can use the
listúmat
command from the Home screen
or a program. For information, refer to Appendix A.
For list and data variables, the Data/Matrix Editor has an
Auto-calculate
feature. By default,
Auto-calculate
=
ON
. Therefore, if
you make a change that affects a header definition (or any column
referenced in a header definition), all header definitions are
recalculated automatically. For example:
¦ If you change a header definition, the new definition is applied
automatically.
¦ If column 2’s header is defined as
c2=2
ù
c1
, any change you make
in column 1 is automatically reflected in column 2.
To turn
Auto-calculate
off and on from the Data/Matrix Editor:
1. Press

2. Change

or

3. Press

to close the
dialog box.
If
Auto-calculate = OFF
and you make changes as described above, the
header definitions are not recalculated until you set
Auto-calculate = ON
.

variable already exists, it will
be redefined based on the
specified lists.
Tip:
You may want to set
Auto-calculate = OFF to:
•
Make multiple changes
without recalculating
each time.
•
Enter a definition such
as c1=c2+c3 before you
enter columns 2 and 3.
•
Override any errors in a
definition until you can
debug the error.
