I'm trying to convert some calculations from Excel to Origin, to take advantage of the analysis template feature. One part of the analysis is to normalize a column of data to the first cell in that column and place the new data in a new column. In excel the formula is like this: B1=A1-$A$1 B2=A2-$A$1 B3=A3-$A$1... I tried to indicate in the Set Column values box that the new column is equal to col(A) - col(A,1), however, the output is only for the first cell in the new column. Hopefully I'm missing something simple... thanks for your time and help, Cara [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
