In numeric columns, you can enter cell expressions preceded by an equal sign (=). JMP 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 where you want to enter the expression.
2. Type an equal sign (=), and then type the expression (Table 4.1).
3. Press the ENTER key.
