Origin Ver. 8 and Service Release 0:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Hello everyone,
My purpose is to take the square root of a column and I use Set Column Values box in order to do so. However, after I write the function and set recalculate mode to automatic no entry is displayed in the target column. The column that I take the square root of consists of tiny complex numbers by the way ( i is used to denote the imaginary part). What may be causing the problem and what is the possible remedy? All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance |

Sorry I don't know how to do that without programming in Origin 8.0. You might try Excel. Or use F(x) functions from Set Column Values in Origin 8.6 or upper version.

However the real square root function does not display the complex part of the square root and hence I cannot retrieve some important information. I am not that familiar with OriginPro by the way.

Hi,
Origin 8 should support complex numbers. Open column properties, set Format to be Numeric, Data Type to be Complex(16).
Origin 9 has default complex functions when you set column value. I couldn't find one in Origin 8. So you might need to use some programming to do complex calculations. Here is some instruction:

Let me know how it works.
