Is it possible to read data from several tabs in Mathcad 15 from an excel file?

I'm bringing in a value from a text file.  I'm pretty sure Prime wants to display the value in radians.  But the value is really 84.11 degrees.  How can I make Prime display this as 84.11 degrees?

I have accidently pushed something while save matchad and this header and footer appeared and I cannot seem to get rid of it 

Why does this element by element assignment not work?

Hello,  I am having difficulty applying the solution here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/Maximum-Value-from-Tables/td-p/999431 I have set-up a minimum example here with two arrays. When I try to get the maximum, an error is caused by the range variable i, "This value must be an integer".  I am using PTC Prime 9.  Appreciate your help!

Hello, I have a Prime 11 file that I'm using 4 iterations of the INCLUDE Statement to pull data from 4 prime sheets.  The processing is very slow. I'm thinking about using instead four sets of READTEXT commands as I can probably pull the data I need from the 4 prime files into 4 large text files.  Then read the text files back into the Prime sheet in question.  Seems like there would be more time creating the text files with WRITETEXT commands for each sheet.  But processing the 4 big text files into my sheet should be quicker. Anyone has experience with these two alternatives?  I see a number of questions regarding the INCLUDE statement.

Hi, I'm using a range variable and multiple functions to plot the capacity and demand of a beam system to check for failure.  This works well and as I intend.  The problem arises when I want to find the specific utilization of the member along it's length.  To do this, I wanted to create a vector containing the input lengths instead of a range variable, so that I can perform math on the functions and output a vector.  This way I will have a vector of the members utilization along its length and won't have to manually check separate inputs.  As shown in the image above, the vector "v" works as an input into function "V(v)" but not in the function "Va(v)".  Is this because "Va(v)" is a piecewise function?  Is there a way to evaluate this function using vectors? If there is a trick to getting vectors as inputs to functions, or simply a better way entirely to accomplish the task of creating a single vector with the utilizations as I de

Hi AllIn Mathcad 15.0 I could replace the "dot" symbol with the multiplication "x" symbol for multiplication. Is this possible with PTC Mathcad 11.0Please advise Mal

Hello can anyone help me with opening a .mcd file ? its very urgent and I dont have version 15. I have 11 prime for 30 days only.your help is much appreciated 

After inserting a numeric value from another mathcad document and highlighting it with the cursor, the inserted number is highlighted with green brackets. What does this highlighting mean and what does this option allow you to do?

Hi everyone,A customer of mine recently encountered a question while using Mathcad Prime. They created a 2D plot using the Insert Chart function (as shown in the image below), but couldn't find a way to display the grid lines (both x and y) in the chart.I’m not very familiar with the plotting settings in Mathcad Prime, so I’d appreciate any help. Is there a setting or option to enable axis grid lines in a chart?Thanks in advance for your support!Best regards,Lan

  can somebody tell me why this is saying units are not compatible, it works when I take it out and do it by itself??Thank you

Good morning everyone!How do you explain the out-of-memory status in this case (see photo) when Task Manager shows that only about 9 GB of 32 GB are used? Thank you to everyone who can answer this.  

Hello, After subtracting two vectors, how do i set the element value to zero if it is negative? P9 sheet is attached.  Thanks,Sam

I create parametric bitmaps that depend on the values of the calculated variables using the READ_BLUE function.How to insert a numeric value into such a picture as a bitmap that changes depending on the calculated variables?

I can only find one question posed on this and the meaning of the green question mark wasn't provided. Nothing in the online help either. Mathcad also indicates that there are errors in the included document, but there aren't. Wasn't sure if the green ! was related to that. The included/reference document expects to see some values defined before it because the included document does calculations based on the pre-defined values. So in actual use with required variable definitions provided prior to insertion of reference doc, everything should be fine. When you drill down into the reference document, Mathcad acts like it knows nothing about the previously defined variable (which sort of makes sense) and gives me errors (red boxes) on some of the calculations I can't remember, but I thought Mathcad v15 had an "if defined..." function so you could make local definitions if something wasn't already defined. Am I remembering correctly? I haven't seen such a function in Prime (v11)

Hi, How can Mathcad 15 skip steps in a loop with skip stepping dictated within the loop? Here increasing i by two inside the loop only affects the one step not the counter i which jumps back to 7? Any ideas as want to skip one or two loop steps within loop dictated by calculations within the loop.   Cheers Terry

I created a worksheet in Mathcad PRIME version 10 that reads data from a text file and creates several graphs.  I have 100 text files to read and they are all numbered sequentially (e.g., "file#.txt").  The file that is read is controlled by a variable in my Mathcad worksheet (in conjunction with concat() and num2str() functions).  Currently I am manually changing the variable in the worksheet that controls the file that is read in, refreshing the worksheet, and then saving the file as a PDF (and manually typing in the desired name of the PDF file).  Is there a way to automate this so I don't have to manually change the variable 100 times and manually type the desired name for the PDF file?

Hello, I am trying to build a Mathcad sheet to find pile capacity. The maximum number of soil layers available is nine (9). The user can choose to use all or, some of the layers within this 9. I am trying to build a logic to assign unit weight based on the layers I have subdivided to. The issue is if all layers are not being inputted, then the logic for unit weight says "Array Index invalid". Please help on this issue, my version is Prime 10. Thanks

Excel function not working in PTC Mathcad.that cells are not being edited in ExcelExcel is busy: can't calculate. Make sureand try again in a few seconds.

Hello All Depending on the magnitudes of the intersection drifts, Drift1 and 2, the supporting member ( support 0,1,2,..) might have a uniform snow load from drift#1 and an additional triangular drift from drift#2.  I still have few "minor" issues.  I have some questions inside the sheet-Prime 9 in red text.  Thanks,Sam

Hello All, I have attached a Prime 9 sheet. I am trying to calculate  the uniform load on several members resulting from triangular snow load. i have included my instructions as to what needs to be accomplished.  Thank you for your assistance!Sam

This is really 2 questions, both relating to text blocks in Mathcad 10:1) Is there a way to make it so hitting Space or Tab after a math segment in a block of text doesn't move the whole line over?  In any other program, Tab or Space after text just moves the cursor over, not the entire line.  I haven't figured out how to get it let me move the cursor over in a text block without it first trying to move the entire line and me having to go and backspace after I'm all done with the line (hitting Tab again will move it over even further).  How do I get it to stop moving text/math that's left of the cursor when I hit Space or Tab on a line with text/math already on it? Example:This is how I want m = ¾a + b³ <Tab>                          to look                  This is what happens if I hit Tab after m = ¾a + b³ <Tab> and text continues here wi

New Mathcad 10 user trying to get familiar with the program before I need to use it for a new job, and I am getting frustrated with how difficult this program is to work with. Supposedly Mathcad is designed to be able to do a mix of text and math, but I am finding that writing text is agonizingly difficult and buggy. In text blocks, it's manageable, but tabs don't line up, it's difficult to stop underlines and bold (4/5 times can't just ctrl+u to stop underlining, have to keep typing then go back and highlight the text and ctrl+u to remove the underline. Same with bold), and it likes to add and remove new lines seemingly at random. In text boxes, it's almost impossible.- I typed an X and it jumped down to the next line all on its own- It did this again when I did a special character like Φ or µ- I typed something on one line in plain text, I hit enter and start typing on the next line and its suddenly now underlining as I type, though none of the other text in the box is
