You can run a whole grid or just the piece you are working on, and QX computes cells in the right order, upstream columns first.

Run

Click Run (⌘Enter) in the top bar and choose Run all rows or Run stale & empty cells only. You can also run a single column from the play icon on its header, one row from the play icon on its row number, a selection through right-click and Run Selected Rows, or a single cell from its detail panel. Progress shows in the top bar, and Cancel stops anything still running. Turn on Auto-run and edits take care of themselves. Change an input cell and every column that depends on it recomputes automatically. You can also ask an agent in chat to run a grid’s pending cells for you, if it has Workspace Access.

Cell statuses

A running cell moves from Pending to Processing to Completed. The others tell you something needs attention:
  • Stale means an upstream value changed, so the value shown is out of date until the cell runs again.
  • Skipped means the column’s run condition was false for that row, or a waterfall found its answer in an earlier step.
  • Error means the run failed. Open the cell to read the message.
  • Invalid means the value does not match the column’s type.

Inspect a cell

Double-click any cell to open its detail panel: the status, the full value, and the error message if something failed. Rich results appear as an expandable object you can click through, links and emails are clickable, and Re-Run Cell runs just that cell again once you have fixed its inputs.

Work with the data

Type directly into manual cells, or use the value bar above the grid for the selected cell. Copy, cut, and paste with ⌘C, ⌘X, and ⌘V, delete rows through right-click, and use Search (⌘F), Filter, and Sort from the toolbar to find your way around large sheets.
