How can I put the years as title in a table. I have tried this and didn't work. Can you recommend a solution please? thanks

scalar yy=@first

for !j=1 to 20
setcell(results,3,4+!j,yy+!j)
next

Perhaps you could explain what you're trying to do.

I know to put the numbers in the table. If you look at my original posting the forecast window changes so I don't know the years.
Anyway I found a way to do it.

Unfortunately your original, and subsequent, posts were not particularly clear. Asking us how to find "the years" is not particularly meaningful.
