Update inputs to a function array

Use the function task pane to update a function array with new input values.

1. Open the function task pane for an array:

   • With the automatic-task-pane display enabled, select a cell or multiple cells.

   • With the automatic-task-pane display disabled, select a cell or multiple cells, right-click, and choose the function name.

   The function task pane shows the current inputs for the selected function array.

   If you selected a single cell, PI DataLink automatically detects adjacent function arrays that differ only by source (that is, by data item or expression) and selects those arrays for editing.

   If you selected multiple cells, PI DataLink only selects the arrays with the same source (that is, the same values for data item or expression) as the selected cells.

2. Change input values as desired to update the selected arrays, and select OK or Apply.

   If you changed the Output cell field, the results depend on the location of the new cell reference:

   • If the new cell reference is part of the original array, then PI DataLink moves the entire array, placing the upper-leftmost cell of the array in the newly referenced cell.

   • If the new cell reference is not part of the original array, then PI DataLink copies the array and pastes the copy, locating the upper-leftmost cell in the newly referenced cell. The original array remains in its original location.
