Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System:

Hello,

this is my first time in this forum, and the first days I use OriginLab, so forgive me for this question:

having a number in a cell, can I multiply (or divide, or whatever math operation) for another number like the simple formula used in an Excel spreadsheet (for example, having the cell A1, I wanna multiply A1 for 10: in Excel I write = A1 * 10 , very simple)
I specify more clearly: I'm not asking how to multiply a column for another column. I mean a single cell, how can I multiply this for a number in a simple manner like in Excel, without open the menu "set the column values" ?

Hello,

Please click Shift+Alt+3 to open the Script Window, then enter the script below:

col(2)[1]=col(2)[1]*10;  //multiply the cell(r=1,c=2) by 10

Click Enter to execute.
You can refer to this page for further informations.

Ok, but in this way there's no automatic recalculation (like Excel) if I change the cell value.

How about choose Worksheet: Worksheet Script... menu and set it as follows.


This dialog allows you to enter script and condition when the script should run.
In image above, I set it so whenever there is change in column A, multiply col(A)[1] cell by 10

You can click Do it and enter values in col(A)[1] cell to see the effect.

You can then choose File: Save Template as to save this workbook template for future use.

Thanks, Snow
