setcell for tables

[nesheus]

I am trying to put (2,1) in one cell in a table but I keep getting error messages: setcell(results,4,5,"(",ar1_1,",",ar1_2,")")

when I put each one in seperate cells then it becomes ( 2 , 1 ) which doesn't look good.

Any suggeston?
thanks

Try

Code: Select all

setcell(results, 4,5 ,("(" + @str(!ar1_1) + "," + @str(!ar1_2) + ")"))

I got error message then I removed "!", then it worked. Thanks a lot for your help.

setcell(results, 4,5 ,("(" + @str(ar1_1) + "," + @str(ar1_2) + ")"))

I presumed ar1_1 and ar1_2 were numeric variables in your program. It sounds as though they are scalars in your workfile, in which case you are correct the ! is not needed.

yes, they are scalars.
