Add Rows
This section describes how to add rows and columns, fill columns with sequential data, and enter cell
formulas.
To add any number of rows to the table:
1. Select Rows > Add Rows.
2. Enter the number of rows to add.
3. Specify where to add the new rows (at the start or end of the data table, or after a specific row).
4. Click OK.
To add a single row to the end of the table:
• Below the last row, click anywhere in a cell and begin typing.
• Below the last row, double-click in the empty row number area.
Add Columns
To add new, empty columns:
• Double-click the empty space to the right of the last data table column.
• Select Cols > New Column. You can then specify more details about the column. You can also add
subsequent columns by clicking Next. See “The Column Info Window” on page 143 in the “Set
Column Properties” chapter.
• Select Cols > Add Multiple Cols. See “Adding Multiple Columns” on page 103.
Note: When you initially create a column, you can choose to fill it with initial data values. See “Fill in
Initial Data Values” on page 150 in the “Set Column Properties” chapter. However, after you modify the
cells, this option no longer appears.
Adding Multiple Columns
Using the Add Multiple Columns command to define multiple columns is different from using the New
Column command. All of the columns that you add using the Add Multiple Columns window have the
same data type. Right-clicking anywhere to the right of the last column in a data table to add multiple
columns defaults to After Last Column.
To add multiple columns:
1. (Optional) Change the Column prefix.
