Note: JMP can display math symbols and Greek letters (controlled in Preferences in the Font category). This means that if you save a column (such as T square limits), the column name could either be “T Square Limits” (no special characters) or “T2 Limits” (with special characters). Any reference using the column name must match the name exactly, or it fails.
