Inline numeric calculation in multiple cells

You can perform numeric calculations and percentage-based calculations in the Component Editor and Attribute Spread Sheet in multiple cells at once.

To perform a calculation

1. Select the cells to operate on.
2. In the active cell, enter the operation prefixes and values.
3. Press Enter.

All selected cells get a new value specified by the operation.

Examples

To add a value to selected cells

1. Select the cells to operate on.
2. Enter +=4.0 into the active cell.
   

The selected cells increase by 4.0.

To subtract a percentage from selected cells

1. Select the cells to operate on.
2. Enter -=50% into the active cell.
   

The selected cells decrease by half their current value.

Note:

Some values are subject to limitations and may not change to the desired value because they are bounded by other factors.
