Creating and Using Report Tables
Editing the Report Table

For information about how to add or delete report variables, refer to:

 Adding or Deleting Report Variables

To change the contents of a Report Definition File (RDF), select a command on the Table or context menu:

• Select Column Properties (or double-click the column header) to modify the column properties. You can then replace the current column contents, for example, number of theoretical plates, with a different variable.

• To change the formula of a cell, enable the Layout Mode on the Table menu. (The Layout Mode command is not available on the context menu.) An edit line appears above the table. In the table, click the cell for which you want to edit the formula. To the left of the edit line, the number of the cell is displayed. Edit the formula as desired. You can also use the Additional Functions of the Report Publisher module, if your Chromeleon license supports this.

   Tip:

  Do not change the format when Layout Mode is enabled.

• Select Table Properties to modify the properties of the entire report. Use this command to sort the table in groups or remove unwanted peaks; see also  Hiding Unwanted Peaks in the Report.

• Each column usually shows one report variable. However, it is possible to link several report variables (see Creating and Using Report Tables  Linking Report Variables). Mathematical and statistical functions such as SUM, AVERAGE, etc. are only available in the Report and the Printer Layout together with the Report Publisher.
