2.5 Column

Description

A Column is a DataObject in a Worksheet. A worksheet is a table with rows and columns. Unlike spreadsheet like Excel, Origin structures data in a sheet(table) with additional internal structure in the form of column objects, so that each column can act as separate object with additional attributes assigned to them. Also, direct access to data in a column in Origin is faster then using a range in a sheet, which is typically done in Excel.
