Multiple Operations

Applies the same formula to different cells, but with different parameter values.

To access this command...

Choose Data - Multiple Operations.

Applying Multiple Operations

The Row or Column box must contain a reference to the first cell of the selected range.

If you export a spreadsheet containing multiple operations to Microsoft Excel, the location of the cells containing the formula must be fully defined relative to the data range.

Defaults

Formulae

Enter the cell references for the cells containing the formulae that you want to use in the multiple operation.

Row

Enter the input cell reference that you want to use as a variable for the rows in the data table.

Column

Enter the input cell reference that you want to use as a variable for the columns in the data table.

Shrink / Expand

Click the Shrink icon to reduce the dialogue box to the size of the input field. It is then easier to mark the required reference in the sheet. The icons then automatically convert to the Expand icon. Click it to restore the dialogue box to its original size.

The dialogue box is automatically minimised when you click within a sheet with the mouse. As soon as you release the mouse button, the dialogue box is restored and the reference range defined with the mouse is highlighted in the document by a blue frame.
