Origin Ver. 8 wxp

In the same sheet, I am trying to copy the txt content of a row to other column, in case the numeric value in a contigous row exceeds 2.
However, the following script only works for numeric data in cols 9 and 4, but not with txt(label) columns:

nRows=wks.nRows;
for(ii=1;ii<=nRows;ii++)
if(col($(7))[ii]>2) $(Col($(9))[ii])=$(col($(4))[ii];

How can I refer to txt column data to make it work?

Thanks, julio

Hi julio,

Some syntax problems exist in your script. For a number to referred to the column, you don't need to use the $ sign, such as col(7) is OK, but not col($(7)). And to get the string in a cell, the $ sign is needed after the cell range. You can refer to this page for more details about string variable and this page for more information about substitution notation.

Your script can be changed like:

nRows=wks.nRows;
for(ii=1;ii<=nRows;ii++)
{
	if(col(7)[ii]>2)
		col(9)[ii]$ = col(4)[ii]$;
}

If they really plan to print out those syntaxes with examples and publish as a book, then I would like pre-order it.
