Enhancements to Worksheet Calculations

Use ReportCell() function to pick up specific values from report sheets such as Nonlinear Fit reports, to create your own custom summary.

In OriginPro and Origin 2021b, several new functions have been added to further facilitate worksheet calculations:

• idx(): Return row indices of records that meet specified condition
• ReportCell(): Access values from report sheets
• Sum(): Improved to calculate row wise Mean, StdDev, Min, Max, N, Median. E.g. sum(A:F)_sd
• More statistics functions: lcl, ucl, mad, geomean, geosd, harmean

Use ReportCell() function to pick up specific values from report sheets such as Nonlinear Fit reports, to create your own custom summary.

New Dialogs for Graph and Workbook Templates

Version 2021b introduces new dialogs for managing both Graph and Worksheet templates. The new dialogs provide much better access and management of User-defined templates and the Extended templates shipped with the product.

• List View to allow sorting by Name, Category, date etc

Data Slicer for Graphs

The new Data Slicer feature in OrginPro and Origin 2021 allows you to change filter conditions directly on a graph for easy data exploration. Simply set up filters on desired worksheet columns, create a graph with one or more layers, and turn on the Data Slicer panel to control the filters. Features include:

• Mini Toolbar to toggle Data Slicer panel
• Directly disable or enable filters from the graph
• Text filter has option for single entry allowing for easy switch of filter conditon
• Numeric filters allow several conditions including combinations with AND or OR
