Tables

A table is a statistical representation of data for a future or commodity over a specified period of time. You can create a table of the Worksheet data you entered in the Configuration window. To table this Worksheet data, select View>Table from the MIMIC menu bar, or select the Table button from the toolbar. MIMIC displays the table in the Table window.

To return to the Configuration window, select the Configuration button from the toolbar.

A table contains a Dates column and then a column of data for each symbol. For example, row 'A' from the Worksheet is the first column of data, row 'B' the second column of data, and so on. A table contains data for the dates indicated in the Date Options pane. At the bottom of a table, MIMIC displays table summary statistics.
