There are several ways to fill a table with values:
• Create new rows and columns and type or paste data into the data grid. (See “Adding and Deleting
Rows,” p. 66.)
• Construct a formula to calculate column values. (See “Creating a Formula,” p. 287.)
• Import data from another application. (See “Importing Data,” p. 13.)
• Copy values from another application and paste them into the table.
• Use a measuring instrument to read external measures. (See “Reading in Real-Time Data (Windows
and Linux Only),” p. 35.)
• Drag columns from one table to another.
