Types of Worksheet Variables
• Enter-only
• Compute-only
• Automatic-compute
• Enter-or-compute
• Settings
Note: The = sign displayed between the variable label and value indicates that
the variable is assigned the value.
Enter-Only Variables
Values for enter-only variables must be entered, cannot be computed, and are
often limited to a specified range, for example, P/Y and C/Y. The value for an
enter-only variable can be:
• Entered directly from the keyboard.
• The result of a math calculation.
• Recalled from memory.
• Obtained from another worksheet using the last answer feature.
When you access an enter-only variable, the calculator displays the variable
label and ENTER indicator. The ENTER indicator reminds you to press !
after keying in a value to assign the value to the variable. After you press !,
the 1 indicator confirms that the value is assigned.
