Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 9.1 b215
Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro x64

Hi, I am getting frustrated with automating the task of constructing QQ plots as I have to do it on 63 columns for 6 sheets. I have tried the following:
(The obvious), in input range select all the columns of interest (added as individual columns separated by commas) -> no support, dialogue window insists of using one column.
Batch plotting on new column -> option disabled! (copy among sheets works)
Batch processing -> followed video tutorials, instructions, could never get this to work.
Looked deep in the plot_prob.xfc function but cannot find how to enable multi-column entry (not an expert in labtalk or origin C).

From my understanding there needs to be calculations of plotting then create the graph - why is this so hard to automate on multiple columns?

I do not want to get other software such as XLSTAT to do this, Origin does it fine just stupidly enough one column at time!

You will have to do the QQPlot once for each sheet, but it's pretty simple to replicate from there.

Here's what to do:
Select the first column of data and choose Plot : Statistics : Q-Q Plot.
( A results sheet and a graph are created. )
Got to the results sheet and click the green lock in the upper left.
Choose Repeat this for all Y columns.
( The analysis is repeated for the remaining Y columns, but graphs are not. )
Go to the Graph window of the first Q-Q Plot.
Right click on the edge of the graph and choose "Duplicate (Batch Plotting) : Duplicate with New Sheets/Books".
Select your additional columns. (The original column is excluded from the list.)
Click OK.

Hi greg,

This has worked for the recalculation but the batch plotting copies the first graph only for the same number of columns present in master worksheet (?). After a quick check I have verified the recalculations do occur on each column (with different names and values within). Any ideas on how to batch plot using the different sheets produced from auto-recalculation on all columns?

Thanking you in advance!
