Repeat sequence to end of table Cells below the selection are filled with repeats of the
selected cells.
Continue sequence to end of table Cells below the selection are filled with a continuation of
the pattern found in the selected cells. For example, if the selected cells contain the numbers 1
and 2, then the remaining cells will be filled with 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on. If the selected cells
contain the numbers 2 and 4, then the remaining cells will be filled with 6, 8, 10, 12, and so on.

Entering Cell Formulas
In numeric columns, you can enter cell expressions preceded by an equal sign (=). JMP immediately
evaluates the expression and stores the new number as the cell’s value. Unlike column formulas, a cell
expression is not stored.
Cell expressions can contain operators, constants, and global and column variables.
To enter an expression:
1 Click the cell in which you want to enter the expression.
2 Type an equal sign (=).
3 Enter the expression.
4 Press Enter or Return on your keyboard.
Table 3.2 Examples of Expressions in Table Cells
Example expression Cell value

=height+weight Sums the values of cells in columns height and weight located in the same
row as the cell you entered the expression.
=height[1] Displays the value found in row 1 of the height column
