Visum-specific matrix file formats

The following table includes all Visum-specific matrix file formats that you can open and/or save in Visum.

Format code	Description	Notes
$V	Standard Visum format, symmetrical (Number of origin objects x number of destination objects)	Text format For PuT skim matrices, the part V format is provided additionally.
$O	An OD pair per row: Origin object, destination object, matrix value	Text format Only values not equal to zero are displayed.
$E	An origin object per row: Minus sign, origin object no., destination object numbers (sorted in ascending order) and matrix values	Text format
$S	An origin object per row: Origin object no., destination object numbers (sorted in ascending order) and matrix values	Text format Only provided for Save operations in Visum.
$T	Partial matrix or asymmetric matrix (Number of origin objects x number of destination objects)	Text format

Depending on the settings made for saving matrices, it is possible to save the following additional parameters (Saving matrices):

Parameters	Description
D	Number of decimal places for the matrix values (if > 0) Data file format code without D means, that the matrix values are integers.
M	Number of the transport mode (only for the part V format)

At the end of the matrix file, in section $NAMES, the numbers and the name of the source and target objects are listed.
