Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5 sr6
Operating System: WinXP Pro

Hi~

I would like to write a script that will normalize data in a column, according to the minimum (not the maximum, which is the default in 7.5), and then place the result in a separate column. This can be done with Set Column Values, I just need to know what the syntax is for this task.

Thanks!

Ginny

In 75, you need to calculate the minimum value first, say:

sum(col(1));

And then set column values like:

col(2) = col(1)/sum.min;

Thanks
Larry
