I am trying to make a button that renames the selected column.

The button executes this script:
double freq = 32.703;
wks.col.LNAME$="C1";
// Generate sine
csetvalue formula:="sin(2*pi*freq*col(A))" recalculate:=0;
// Set Sparklines
sparklines sel:=1;


Currently, when the button is triggered, column C is renamed no matter which column is selected. The sine wave data does, however, fill to the selected column.

How do I script the button to rename the column that it is filling with data?

Best,

Nicholas G.

wks.col does not refer to selected column.

You may try using wks.c1.


double freq = 32.703;
if (wks.c1==1)
	{type -a "cannot set col(A)";return;}
//wks.c1 refers to leftmost selected column
wks.col$(wks.c1).lname$="C1";
//provide selected col as input
csetvalue col:=$(wks.c1) formula:="sin(2*pi*freq*col(A))" recalculate:=0;
sparklines sel:=1;
