Creating Tables in Mathcad

[ptc-4532331]

What is the easiest way to create a table in Mathcad that I can manipulate, similar to manipulating fields in Excel (i.e. linking cells together such as c1=a1+b1? I took a look at the tutorials and haven't really found much...that is, unless, I'm not looking hard enough or understanding how Mathcad works in this regard.

Thanks,

Scott

If you want a spreadsheet, EXCEL is far better than Mathcad. You can deal with tables, but that's a very restrictive way to go.

I have to agree with Fred, you can embed excel tables in Mathcad and extract data as you wish. Excel handles tables and data much better than Mathcad.

Hmm. Whilst I concur with Fred's statement that Excel is a better at 'spreadsheets' than Mathcad, I'm not sure, Mike, that I agree that Excel "handles tables and data much better than Mathcad". I think it rather depends what you want to do with the tables/data and how you wish to create them. Horses for courses ... ie, Mathcad for the Grand National and Excel for the Donkey Derby!

Hahahaha

Maybe I should have said I believe Excel can display tables much better than Mathcad.
