How to input the same value for a range of cells in a table object

[Ovidius]

Hello,

I have a table object and I would like to input the same value (an integer one, for example) for a range of cells. In other words, I want the user to be able to input the same value for more than one cell at a time. Any idea?

Thanks!

Hi Ovidius,

This will depend strongly on your user scenario.  In DIAdem 2010 and prior versions there is no way to directly enter N cell values into a REPORT table object, so the question becomes how do you enable the customer to easily enter those repeated values into a data channel, which then is referenced to appear automatically as a column in the REPORT table object.  There is functionality in DIAdem to create a channel with N identical values, which you can use interactively in VIEW or ANALYSIS, and which you can also call as part of a custom VBScript or SUDialog.  From the VBScript or SUDialog you can also overwrite existing cells with new values, and the SUDialog can certainly provide easy methods for the customer to enter the same value multiple times.

The question is, what would you like the user to DO with his mouse and keyboard, and what would you like the resulting change in the REPORT table to look like in each case.
