Edit Cells in Data Tables

Use the Row Editor to browse or edit cells one row at a time. Open the Row Editor in one of the following ways:

• Select Rows > Row Editor.

• In a data table, double-click in the row number area. The row that you use is the row that first appears in the Row Editor.

• In a report window, right-click in a plot or graph and select Row Editor.

Note the following:

• If you have a report window open, and you want edited data to be automatically reflected there, make sure that Automatic Recalc is turned on. See Automatic Recalc.

• If your data table contains value labels, the Row Editor displays the label, and when the cell is highlighted for editing, it shows the actual value. See Value Labels.
