Adding text to a text/metric table in the report

==== Using TEXT_DATA ====

Create a TEXT_DATA Item for the text you want in the cell.

**Create_Text_Data**
/SIGNAL_FOLDER=TEST
/SIGNAL_NAMES=CELL_TEXT
/TEXT_DATA=Hello Cell
**;**
  * First add the text/metric table to the report

  * Select the data type as **File Metric/Text Data**

Enter the Expression "TEXT_DATA::TEST::CELL_TEXT select the file tag "ALL_FILES" select update

{{:CellText1.jpg}}

The resulting report graph should look like.

==== Using a Model metric ====

The subject data metrics in the model will accept a text string by prefixing the string with a '

Add the subject data to a metric table cell

{{:Report5_5.jpg}}

==== Using a file metric ====

The problem with this approach is that you must enter the text manually.

If you want to add the text from a movement trial using a pipeline command, you are //almost// out of luck because Visual3D metrics are numerical only.

It is possible to be a little creative and to create a metric signal whose name is the text you want to use.

Create a metric value labeled with the subject name.

**Metric_Explicit**
/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=John Doe
/RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=SUBJECT
/METRIC_VALUE=0
**;**
You can not add the metric to the table and select the option to display the data name.
