Linking to Shared Variables

1. Display the page and select the location or object to which you want to link

display those variables.

Linking a Lists & Spreadsheet Cell to a Variable
When you link a cell to a variable, Lists & Spreadsheet keeps the cell value
updated to reflect the current value of the variable. The variable can be any
variable in the current problem and can be defined in Graphs & Geometry,
Calculator, or any instance of Lists & Spreadsheet.
Note: Do not link to a system variable. Doing so could prevent the variable from
being updated by the system. System variables include ans, StatMatrix, and
statistics results (such as RegEqn, dfError, and Resid).
1. Click the cell that you want to link to the variable.
