Entering Data
Figure 3.23 The New Column Window
• Select Cols > Add Multiple Cols (or double-click the upper triangular area in the upper left corner
of the data grid). Using the Add Multiple Columns command to define multiple columns is
different from using the New Column command because all columns you add with the Add
Multiple Columns window will have the same data characteristics. By default, the new column
names are Column 1, Column 2, and so on. However, you can specify other text that becomes the
prefix of the new column names by typing into the Column prefix box. Then, as shown in
Figure 3.24, enter the number of columns to add, specify if they are to be grouped, select a data
type, enter their location, and select the initial data values. (See “About Data Types,” p. 58, for
details.)
