Hi

Here is the file working.

The problem is B1 is defined in your sheet as a range variable. 

Looks in PTC Prime exactly like a vector.

To change it to a vector just use the hack of putting an equal sign after it to show it.

hi,

 

WRITEEXCEL can't do units. See excerpt from mathcad help.

I suggest to divide the matrix you'd like to export with "UnitsOf(variable)" before writing to Excel.

 

Regards

    The problem is not WRITEEXCEL as you correctly strip the units when you use it.

    The problem is that B1 is a range, not a vector, and so it can't be used as the argument for function A,tR.

    Find attached two ways to deal with that situation.

      You're right. I didn't notice it.

      It doesn't matter anyway. If you look at all the questions this user already had posted it seems, that he isn't really interested in the answers - at least he seems to think that it isn't necessary to come back, close the threads and maybe comment the answers given.
