When I load a set of data and then create calculated columns, and save the result as a template, if I load a new set of data (with the same column structure), and then load the template, the columns will be set to new aliases properly but I can't re-create the calculated columns. Is there a way to do this? Thank you, mike

A template does not know how individual columns were created, while dwar files store formulas in the column property section to be re-applied in case the data changes or rows are appended.
You may use a macro to calculate columns. If it first deletes previously calculated columns (in case they exist) and then freshly calculates them from scratch, then such a macro can be used no matter, whether or not the data already the columns to be calculated.
