Question

How to display results at the beginning of a document/report?

Hello!

I'm currently working on making a report using Mathcad Prime 3.0 and would like to display some of the results from my calculations in the beginning of the document. Is there a way to do this other than using global definitions?

The reason that I don't want to use the global definitions is that they can't be changed like functions or normal variables. Other than being a hassle it is plain impossible the way I have set up my current document.

There is a simple example in the attached file.

As scripted objects are not yet implemented in Prime you will have to use a combination of 'File Access' functions..

Maybe WRITEEXCEL AND READEXCEL?

Too bad.

Using Excel could probably work. Unfortunately I don't have to luxury of being able to work with more than one file either. Maybe I'm just being difficult here...

If there is no way to do it, I'll just have to go on without.

Why not?

It does not have to be Excel there are many formats you could write the data to. The file would not need to be accessed, just saved in a location where Prime could access it.

I don't think so. I have used scripted objects in the past and have also used the method outlined above.
