How to input data into a table with columns?

I am trying to input data into a table.  My table have 5 columns and an unlimited amount of rows.  I created a program in LabView that enters the data into the table but it enters all of the data in one row.  I would like to enter the first set of information into the first column, the second set of info into the second  column and so on.  I am including a copy of the program that I am working with.  I would like the number of runs to be put into the first column (it should count down like number 5 in first row, number 4 in second row, number 3 in third row, and so on).  I would like the applied voltage to be placed in the second column, and so on.  Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.  I am working with LabView Version 6.1 and 8.0.  I am submitting the vi from 6.1.

As far as I know, you're only able to set specific cell values using Property Node->Active Cell, and then Invoke Node->Set Cell Value.  You could do this in a loop with relatively little extra code.

If there is another way, someone say so!

Pondered,
I looked at your code and I think you might be making things too complicated. I've included a very simple example that demonstrates how to write a 2D array of integers to a table. Hope you find this helpful. It is in LV 7.1.

I tried opening the program but I only have LabView 6.1 and LabView 8.0.

Is there a way to change the dimensions of a table?  I am trying to enter 3-d array of data to the table but the table is only one dimension.  Is there a table that is more than one dimension.

Eventually, I would like my table to look like:
 
 
 
 
Runs         Applied Voltage       Current       Etc
   4                      4                          3                 
   3                      4                          3
   2                      5                          2
  1                       4                          2
 
See above attachment.  Any help is appreciated.

That is a 2D array of data and that is exactly what a table is. Your example is generating a 2D array and not 3D. If you have LabVIEW 8.0, start it up and look at the 7.1 example posted.
