Substitute/Explicit issue in MathCad 15

Hello All,

I have this issue with the substitute function when in conjunction with Explicit. It doesn't display all components of an equation no matter what I do; see attached sheet. Any suggestions?

Raiko

p.S.

MathCad 15 on a Win7, 64 bit machine

The problem is the substitute command per se.

This command seems to immediately evaluate the expression and unfortunately the order does not matter

So I guess you'll have to do without "substitute" and use clumsy assignments on worksheet level like this:

Hello Werner,

 

it seems you're right and I have to use the not very elegant method of re-assigning variables in a hidden area 😞
