The title of each column can be changed by double-clicking it and typing the desired name.



Now click the Batch Auto Run icon



or:



and click Select All Available> > to separate the 6 MP drug from the placebo as shown next.



Click OK and you will get a new Data Sheet for each treatment with the corresponding results, as shown next.

Make sure both data sheets are calculated, then from the Life Data tab, click on Insert Additional Plot. Click on the Select Data Sheets button.





and check the two data sheets under the Folio1 project.
