If you click the [Edit
Equation] button you get this equation-editing form. If you select an equation from the LIST of
Equations in Sheet, the terms are listed in the ‘List of Terms in Equation’
box. Clicking [2. Select Term for TERM
Edit Box Below] puts the selected term into the edit box for MANUAL
editing. A click of the [4a Update
LIST] button returns it to the list (perhaps in a different position if you
change numbers to switch terms) and a click of the [5a. Update Matrix Column Heads] button returns the edited terms
to their matrix column heads and closes the form. Putting the cursor on a term in the LIST of
Terms in Equation and clicking the [5c. Delete Selected Term From Equation] will remove the term from the
matrix and close the form. Clicking [5b. Add New Term to
Equation] button
inserts a column for a new term before the selected one and closes the
form. These latter two options are
very important as they allow the addition and deletion of equation terms
while keeping the equation names properly aligned – a problem that can easily
occur if you try do this manually (the manual removal or expansion of columns
directly on a workbook sheet is
possible). Part B allows you to blank
out matrix rows and columns if a Category does not exist for a sheet. This equation editing routine allows you to
easily change column heads in any equation parameter matrix on a sheet and
add or delete columns (terms) in an equation parameter matrix. You can also unprotect a sheet and directly
edit the column heads manually in Excel. |
