Sheet Actions

The following commands apply only to general spreadsheets.

   Function Wizard opens the Function Wizard, which helps you to build functions. These functions can return results ranging from mathematical values (e.g., sine, pi or averages) to reliability metrics based on associated data sheets (e.g., reliability, probability of failure, expected number of failures, etc.).

  Chart Wizard allows you to create new plots and charts based on the current spreadsheet. To use, select a range of spreadsheet cells for which you would like to create a chart, then click Chart Wizard and select the area where you want to place the chart.

  AutoSum allows you to compute the sum of the values in a range of selected cells. If a cell range is not selected, the command computes the sum of the values in the cells directly above the current cursor location.

  Sort allows you to reorder the selected data either in ascending or descending order. Note that you may need to be careful when sorting certain types of data in order to prevent errors in analysis. Note the following:

Rows/Columns

  Delete deletes the selected cells and moves the remaining cells based on the specified direction.

   Insert inserts new cells into the currently active sheet at the current cursor location. If a range of cells is selected in the sheet, then the same number of cells will be inserted.
