StatMatrix entry.
• You can use 1 to 16 characters consisting of letters, digits, and the
underscore character (_). Letters can be U.S. or Greek letters (but not
Π or p), accented letters, and international letters.
• You can use uppercase or lowercase letters. The names AB22, Ab22,
aB22, and ab22 all refer to the same variable.
• Do not use spaces.
• If you use an underscore as the first character, the variable it is
considered a type of unit, such as _m, _ft, and _in. Units do not allow
subsequent underscores in the name.
• You cannot use a preassigned variable or function name, such as ans
or min.

Preventing name conflicts
A TI-Nspire™ shared variable can have the same name as a table cell or

• To refer to a variable whose name could conflict with the name of a
cell (such as A1), precede the variable name with an apostrophe
(‘A1).
