multiply problem

truepen

Dear Sir,

I would like to scramble label value of all data.
As I use the code as follows, I found changed a1 value compared with the original. 
If I replace 'multiply' by using copyed 'Retrieve' item, it is correct.

please help me.  

regard,

Hi,
actually a Multiply does not really copy the data, but the view on the data. If you change the data values, they are changed in the underlying memory and hence changed in both views.
A solution is as you wrote loading it twice or using a Materialize to write the data of a view into memory.
