Good morning,
I spun my wheels on this for a while yesterday, and now I'm looking for help. The attached file was created in MathCAD Prime 8.0. In order for it to work, make sure that the csv file and the mathcad file are in the same directory. What it's supposed to do is accept a csv file with a specific structure and convert it into a vector of properties with MathCAD units. It was supposed to be a short program, but I'm running into a bug that I can't seem to work around gracefully.
When I have the READCSV(filename) function inside of a program, my output has no units, but when I have my READCSV function outside of the program, it works.
I want the READCSV function to work inside of the program so that I can call multiple csv files and combine the properties of each, otherwise the purpose of my overly-complicated data entry experiment is moot. Please help!
Thank you,
Kevin
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thats a strange bug and its still present in Prime 9.
You may consider reporting it to PTC support.
In the meanwhile the highlighted reassignment data<--data does the trick (don't ask me why!)
You can save one line by using kind of a double assignment
EDIT: Yet another workaround and maybe the most desirable, as its not necessary to change any programs already present.
Simply redefine the built-in function READCSV( ) at the top of the sheet (maybe in a collapsed region) as shown below

Thank you! This is the solution I needed!
