For variables that have dimensions specified (arrays), you can initialize individual elements in the array by making the value field a comma separated list of values, such as: 1,5,6,1,4,1,3,5,6,7,2. For two-dimensional arrays, each row is completely initialized before moving to the next. Higher dimensional arrays cannot be initialized through the values field.

For arrays, you can also load data directly into the array from an external MS Excel spreadsheet, by simply listing a valid path as the value.

Default: 0
