Help with using functions in tables

[Pat Flynn]

I am having trouble accessing a function in a lists and spreadsheet.
In the posted tns file (AP Conversion Scores), I am trying to have
column B calculate f1(column A). Am I missing something?

no, it should be as easy as you say.

Just type in "=f1(a[]" on column B's definition row and it should work
(as long as column A has data). You don't even need the brackets,
Nspire will add them for you.

Are you sure f1 is defined? Did you remember the = sign?

Cheers,
Nelson

my f1(x) is a piecewise function. Will that couse problems?

Hmmm... that's an entirely different beast...

and you're right, it doesn't work (but it should!). With a piecewise
function defined using the template I also got the error. The problem
is that list<number returns a list of "true" and "false" statements
and that's neither true, nor false.

I've compiled a few examples (see attached file), using the piecewise
template as well as when statements, they all return unexpected
results. I think a close look at this issue is important.
