Sequence
Sequence() corresponds to the Sequence function in the Formula Editor and is used to fill the cells in a
data table column. It takes four arguments and the last two are optional:
Sequence(from, to, stepsize, repeat)
From and to are not optional. They specify the range of values to place into the cells. If from = 4 and to
= 8, the cells are filled with the values 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 4, ...
Stepsize is optional. If you do not specify a stepsize, the default value is 1. Stepsize increments the values
in the range. If stepsize = 2 with the above from and to values, the cells are filled with the values 4, 6,
8, 4, 6, ...
Repeat is optional. If you do not specify a Repeat, the default value is 1. Repeat specifies how many times
each value is repeated before incrementing to the next value. If repeat = 3 with the above from, to, and
stepsize values, the cells are filled with the values 4, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8, 8, 4, ... If you specify a Repeat
value, you must also specify a Stepsize value.
The sequence is always repeated until each cell in the column is filled.
Example:
// Create a new data table
dt = New Table("Sequence Example");
// Add 2 columns and 50 rows
dt
