The context menu opens.

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.
