  Do you mean for the data analysis? The easiest to accomplish this is using Pivot tables in Excel. There plenty tutorials how to do that on youtube.

  If you need it in the experiment itself. You have to define those columns in python code. So basically just make lists (var.aList = [1,2,3,4]) or dictionaries (var.aDict = dict(cond1 = [1,2,3,4], cond2 = [5,6,7,8]).

  That way you can manipulate all items of the list at any time. To run your trials you then would need to index the current item of one of the lists.

  So, does that mean that OpenSesame has all the add-ins like numpy and scipy, etc for python already or do I use a pip command to call them first? These are the basics that seem to be missing from the Python instructions.

  It comes with quite a few packages, but you can also pip install more if you need to. In any case, if you want to use them, you have to import it (in an inline_script)

  Good to know. I wanted to check before I tried it. I took the CodeAcademy courses and I have the manual so I'll try it out and see how far I get. There is a Python forum too, isn't there? Specifically, Python coding in OpenSesame - not everything is always the same (it might be a different method).
