Can't Display a Matrix
Can't Display a Matrix
(OP)
I'm using V13 and I've populated a 6X60 matrix and want to display it. When I type "Mat[1,45 =" it gives the correct value, no problem. When I do like the help screen says and type "Mat =" I get two input blocks.
I can't find a setting that could be causing this. Anyone have any ideas?

However, you might want to upload an example file here, or post the question to the Mathcad Collab: http://collab.mathsoft.com/~Mathcad2000 to see if there's anything wrong with your files.

I've gotten help at the Collab, but never without a few "have you always been this dumb?" kind of comments (many were deserved, the "programming" syntax is pretty foreign to me). Don't have time for the abuse today.

But, as always, should you or any of your IM force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, David.

That was an amazingly good try. It didn't work, but it was a really good idea. I deleted the files (and left the folder). Started MathCad and the problem was still there. I shut it down and looked again and the folder was gone. I recreated the folder and MathCad started WAY faster than it had been starting, but the Matrix didn't display.
The problem has to be something like that. I can't reboot right now, maybe it'll work after I finish what I'm working on and restart.
Thanks

I still like your response, but after rebooting it still doesn't display a matrix. My work around to write it to a text file gets me most of the way, but it is a bit of a pain.

Have you tried to change the result format from Auto to Matrix?

There is always one who gives that impression.... Sort of a 'lost in translation' problem.
Another option is to "repair" the installation (having deleted the cache as first go). You do that via control panels >> add/remove programmes, then click the install button to be given the option to repair. If you have previous versions, do then in version order (oldest first).

That fixed it. It was a bit of a scramble to find the install disks, but at least I didn't get any "exceeded installs" messages. Thank you.
IRstuff,
Its been a couple of years since I've been there and I don't remember the guy's name, last time I was trying to do a massive goal seek and messed up the derivative. The "goal seek" guy (who was amazingly knowledgeable, just a jerk) took me to task for being too stupid to take a simple derivative. I didn't think I was all that stupid, but I did make a stupid mistake that I couldn't make myself see. Oh well. Most of my questions are basic enough to not need the Collab. The help I've gotten at eng-tips.com has been much more civil.
