Saving a Visum matrix to a file

Note: If you save a formula matrix as a file, only the current values are saved, not the formula.

1.  In the Matrices window, right-click the matrix of your choice.

The context menu opens.

2.  Choose Save to file.

The Save matrix window opens.

Tips: Alternatively, open the matrix and, on the toolbar of the Matrix editor window, click the Save to file symbol or, from the Matrix editor menu, choose > Save to file. The Matrices list shortcut menu contains an entry for this (Opening a list).

3.  Enter the file name and the path, if required.

4.  Select a file type, if required.

Notes: You can specify and manage the file types available under menu File > Project directories > Edit project directories (Editing the storage location of files). When you choose the file type Matrix (*.*), you must add an extension to matrix file name.

5.  Click the Save button.

The Write matrix <Matrix name> window opens.

6.  Make the desired changes.

Element	Description
Format	From the selection list, you can select the output data format for the matrix file. For more information on data formats please refer to the appendix (Matrix formats).
Consider OD pair filter	If this option has been checked, only those OD pairs are saved to matrix file which are in the active state (Exception: Filter for OD pairs). If this option has not been checked, all relations are saved to matrix file. Notes For flow bundle matrices, the OD pair filter is always regarded. Therefore it does not need to be checked in this case. For other matrix types this option is only provided if the OD pair filter has been set.
Save column and row names	If the option is selected, the names of columns and rows of the matrix will be saved. Note The option can be used only for square matrices.

7.  Confirm with OK.

The matrix values are saved to the matrix file specified. In the Matrix editor window, the Visum matrix remains open.
