I currently have a table of absorbances vs. wavenumbers. How would I change that to a table of %transmittances vs. wavenumbers? The relationship is given by



%Transmittance = (10^(-absorbance))*100] 


I've tried:



newtable = Replace[currenttable, i -> ((10^(-i))*100)] 


No errors occur, but nothing happens.

    You may use newtable = currenttable; newtable[[All, i]] = (10^(-newtable[[All, i]]))*100; where i is the number of the column. If you wonder what [[ ]] is, look up Part in the documentation.

Contrived data based on the element form {wave-number, absorbance}.



SeedRandom[42]; 
With[{n = 5}, data = Sort @ Transpose[{RandomInteger[100, n], RandomReal[1., n]}]]



{{4, 0.142803}, {6, 0.628702}, {15, 0.290081}, {54, 0.0292846}, {66, 0.105067}}



Assuming you want to keep the original data and not destructively change the 2nd column in it, you could proceed as follows:



newdata = data;
newdata[[All, 2]] = 100 10^-data[[All, 2]];
newdata



{{4, 71.9776}, {6, 23.5124}, {15, 51.2765}, {54, 93.4793}, {66, 78.5114}}



This works because all Mathematica's arithmetic operators have a property called Listable, which means they automatically map over lists such as data[[All, 2]]. In this case the operator doing the mapping is Power.
