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 Enter Data in Enter and Edit Data.)

•

Construct a formula to calculate column values. (See Create a Formula in Formula Editor.)

•

Import data from another application. (See About Importing Data to JMP.)

•

Copy values from another application and paste them into the table.

•

Use a measuring instrument to read external measures. See Real-Time Data Capture on Windows in the Scripting Guide for details about data feeds.

•

Drag columns from one table to another.

See the Enter and Edit Data topic for details about how to format, edit, and work with data tables.
