Edit Table Values

The Edit Table Values permits the modification of any of the text labels found within a Carlson table entity. A Carlson table can be created using the Report Formatter, the Draw > Table command, or by Line or Curve table created with the Use Table Entity option enabled under Line/Curve Table Defaults.

To sort the table, you can pick on the header in the spreadsheet for the column to sort by.

Insert Row: Inserts a blank line immediately preceding the currently selected line in the spreadsheet control.

Delete Row: Removes the currently selected line from the spreadsheet control.

Add Column: Adds a blank column to the end of the spreadsheet control.

Insert Column: Inserts a blank column immediately preceding the currently selected column in the spreadsheet control.

Delete Column: Removes the currently selected column from the spreadsheet control.

Report: Sends the current content of the spreadsheet control to the Standard Report Viewer.

Export: Exports the current content of the spreadsheet control to an XLS file compatible with most spreadsheet applications, including Microsoft Excel (R).
