Calculations inside a Design Table

[tbeck11]

I am trying to do some calculations inside of a design table but am having a hard time.

Example: column g (user column) = column a + column b

How do I do this?

Thanks.

You should do as you would do in Microsoft Excel.

If you don't remmind do:

in the g collum cell x (where x equals row number), write:

=$ax+$bx

This will do: g1 = a1 + b1

Tell me if it's what you were wanting.

See Ya.

Design tables in SolidWorks are Excel files. You add formula the same as you would in Excel. Look in Excel help for formulas.

I figured it out right after I posted, go figure!!

The cells were formatted as text and not general.

I did get it to work. Thanks for the quick replies!!

Have a great weekend.

Quick and easy: pick a cell in your equation column. Type "=" click on one of the columns you're adding, type "+" then click on the other column you're adding, and hit enter. Then copy and paste for all the other cells in the column.
