Input a single value to multiple selected cells in data table at once (excel CTRL+enter equivalent)Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a good way to enter a single value (such as "1") into all cells which I have selected in a data table. In Excel you would do this by pressing CTRL+enter after setting the value for the cells.
The workaround I'm using is to write the value in notepad, select the value, copy it to clipboard and in JMP data table on top of selected cells click "paste". This just does not feel right.
My use case is labelling data groups: I have a visualization open in graph explorer. I select a population from the graph, and want to insert a population ID number onto a new column in the data table, then select another population and set its population ID and so on...
(using JMP 18).
Thanks for help!

You can also access it from right click on graph builder

I have also made a wish list item to make it more "useful" Allow Name Selection In Column be used for multiple selections
Re: Input a single value to multiple selected cells in data table at once (excel CTRL+enter equivalent)Jarmo's response is a good way to handle this. I will many times use a different approach. I place into the paste buffer the value I want repeated, then is I simply use CNTL/V the paste buffer value will be copied to all selected cells.
