2. Select the column formula cell (the second cell from the top) of the
column in which you want to capture the values.

3. From the Data menu, select Data Capture, and then select Manual

A capture expression is inserted into the colum formula cell with var
as a placeholder for the name of the variable you are capturing.
4. Replace the letters “var” with the name of the variable to capture
from Graphs & Geometry. For example, type area.
The formula cell now contains an expression similar to
=capture(area,0).
