Hi, all,
If x=0.5, how could i get y(0.5)=?
thanks,

Hi,
quote:
but why couldn't I use col(b)(0.5)= ?
I always think that Origin's syntax for functions is like:
<FUNCTION_NAME>(argument)
But, col(b) is not a function name, but data1_b is a "name".
For me, the form like col(b)(0.5) is very confusing, and may potentially cause an ambiguity (Is 0.5 the argument of "col"? or of "(b)"?).

The Table function is the best way to do this, using the data above,
table(data1_a, data1_b,2.5)=;
TABLE(DATA1_A, DATA1_B,2.5)=5
table(data1_b, data1_a,7)=;
TABLE(DATA1_B, DATA1_A,7)=3.5
so you get get x from y or get y from x easily.

Here's some more information to consider...
You can also use the following notation in the Script window:
yDataSet(xValue) =
In this notation, Origin uses linear interpolation/extrapolation on the X data set and/or Y data set, as needed.
Example,
Data1 worksheet
A(X) B(Y)
1 2
2 4
3 6
4 8
Enter the following in the Script window:
data1_b(2)=
Origin returns 4.
Enter:
data1_b(2.5)=
Origin returns 5.

Hi moondream,
First, let's make sure I understand what you want to do. You want to find a value in a Y column based on its corresponding X value rather than its row number? If I'm wrong pls ignore the rest of this message and set me straight. If I'm right then read on.
In a typical worksheet with data1_A as the X column and data1_B as the Y column you can find the Y value who's X value is exactly 0.5 like this...
ii=list(0.5,data1_A) // find the first row with X value = 0.5
data1_B[ii]=; // type the corresponding Y value
If 0.5 is not found you'll get data1_B[0]=--. It's slightly more complicated to find the Y value who's X value is closest to 0.5, but it can be done using the xvalue() and xvalue1() functions. If that's what you need let me know and I'll explain later.
