Is there a way of defining the number of matrix rows and columns just by say setting up a function? i.e. if I want a 5x5 matrix I can just type 5 and 5 in two functions and the matrix will auto generate

If you are referring to a matrix with empty placeholders, unfortunately not.

yes, then you can enter your data. is the only way to add or delete lines is by clicking on the matrix tab again? if so thats pretty poor

So you are referring to Prime??

Try Shift-Enter and/or Shift-Tab to add rows and columns. (one of the very few things which are more convenient in Prime than in Mathcad).

Sure you can do that. But what do you mean with "just type 5 and 5 in two functions"?

Could it be that the command "matrix" is what you are looking for?

Otherwise you will have to provide an example of what exactly you are after.
