Hi, I am a civil engineering student attempting to create an interaction diagram for masonry columns using Mathcad. I have been using for loops with if statements to truncate values within arrays. Everything has been going smoothly until I try to display my latest calculated array for the forces in the reinforcement.
Engineering details aside, I am having a strange issue of the array (or matrix) not displaying correctly unless I call individual values.
Please see the attached file, my issue is a the bottom where I have called several manual values and then tried to display the same array and allow mathcad to put it in the standard scrollable table. All I get when I call the entire array is a table full of [1,1] values, instead of the force (in kips) that I can get when I call individual elements of the array. All other arrays that I have created in the sheet display correctly.
TL;DR: My arrays at the bottom of the sheet are having issues displaying correctly, but actually contain the correct values
Any help is greatly appreciated.

File was created with Mathcad 15 academic.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Problem area appears to be vlookup, this function is returning a vector (even though it is only 1 element) & all the following calculations are creating multiple layers on vectors because of this.
If you are expecting a single value, you can de-vector the result by selecting the first element only.
Note that the second line shows the ( ... ) format of the vector.
Hopefully this resolves your difficulty

Thank you!, I just started using mathcad a month ago and I didn't realize what the parenthesis meant in that context. You're awesome!
