Concatenate Text and Numeric Wave

Hello:

I would like to have a matrix in which one column consists of text and another column consists of numbers. Specifically, the text labels the numeric value of the same row.

My goal is to tabulate under one matrix wave a label that I readily read for each value in the adjacent column. Is there any legal way to place a text and numeric wave together so that I can quickly review/access this combined information?

Thank you for any advice.
If you limit yourself to the viewing part you can do

make data = p
make/T dataText =  "Number " + num2str(p)
Edit data, dataText


and view both numeric and text waves next to each other.

I think the original poster wants a matrix with alternating columns of labels and numbers. This can be done only using a text wave matrix, representing the numbers as text.

If the goal is one column of labels and multiple columns of numbers, it can be done with a numeric matrix wave and dimension labels.
