Create new columns that add data from existing columns to one fixed column

Let's say I have one column with numeric-continuous data.  This data is my "reference" data.  I have n other columns with numeric-continuous data.  Is there a way to create an additional n columns where each of these new columns is a sum of the first "reference" data column with each of the n other columns?

Re: Create new columns that add data from existing columns to one fixed column

Hi, you can do this as follows:

1) From the main menu, select Cols > New Columns... and add N columns by typing that number into the Number of Columns to add box. If you like, add them as a group and type something into the Column Prefix box.

2) Highlight all the new columns, right-click in the column header area and select "Standardize Attributes"
