You can use this. You need to enter your x values

```auto
f=simpleFunction(yourInputName.latex)
#Day0
cellContent(1,2): f.evaluateAt(0)
#Day1
cellContent(2,2): f.evaluateAt(1)
...etc for each individual cell

```

I tried it but I got an error that said `sink "cellContent" expects a latex but got a number`

Sorry, they need to be strings, so

```auto
f=simpleFunction(yourInputName.latex)
#Day0
cellContent(1,2): "${f.evaluateAt(0)}"
#Day1
cellContent(2,2): "${f.evaluateAt(1)}"
...etc for each individual cell

```
