Allocate and Alter

For each writeback method and for reallocation you can specify allocation or alteration of values.

Allocate replaces existing values. For example, if a cell contains 1 and you write 2 to it using Allocate, the cell value becomes 2.

Alter amends existing values by the value you enter. For example, if a cell contains 1 and you enter 2 using Alter, the cell value becomes 3.

Allocate splasher commands are prefixed with the hash (#) symbol.

Alter commands are prefixed with ampersand (&).

In the Write Back dialog, the options Value and New Value equate to Allocate and Alter respectively.
