## Creating TI data variables

While all of the variables you can create in TI Data Editor are technically data variables, TI Data Editor also includes a specific TI data variable. The TI data variable is similar to a spreadsheet. TI data variables can contain both numeric and alphabetic data stored in a two-dimensional format. The cells in TI data can contain entries of one or more numbers and letters.

### To create TI data variables

| 1. | In the TI Data Editor menu, click File > New > TI Data.

| 2. | Type the data into the appropriate cells.

Note: Use the character palette to enter special characters. (See "Inserting special characters into data".)

| 3. | Save the data variable. (See "Saving data".)
