Hi Nola, Could you give us an example of what exactly is a spreadsheet view in Matlab?, maybe a screen shot of it. Thank you!, Fernando

Hi Fernando. What it is called is the Array Editor. It is basically a dockable window that is basically an excel window that shows the actual values of the cells in the matrix. http://www.google.se/imgres?q=matlab+array+editor&um=1&hl=sv&client=firefox-a&sa=N&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1280&bih=681&tbm=isch&tbnid=V0w134hVo5xIWM:&imgrefurl=http://electronicdesign.com/article/embedded/making-math-magic16454.aspx&docid=urWyLzRjiNO1KM&imgurl=http://www.electronicdesign.com/files/29/16454/fig%2525202.jpg&w=694&h=560&ei=VifeTovmEqzb4QTCgo3kBg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=997&vpy=373&dur=212&hovh=153&hovw=190&tx=158&ty=110&sig=104518425346771880129&page=1&tbnh=153&tbnw=190&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0 sorry for the long url.

Hi Nola, Well, the short answer is no, there isn't such a thing in IDL. You can though see the array if you click in the Variables tab (view) on the left, next to Project Explorer. Then, you will need to click in a small upside down triangle on the top right corner of that view, next to a red cross. The click in Layout, and choose Vertical View Orientation. That will show you the values of the elements of the variable, in this case a 2D matrix. But you cannot modified them. Does that Array Editor allows you to modified the elements? Cheers, Fernando

Yes matlab array editor allows for modification of elements!
