I'm using pgfplotstable (pgfplots version 1.5 (git show 1.5-1-gcc2f2d2), pgf version 2.10) to create a column using set list. I want to have a column with letters from a to d (for example). I'm using set list ={a,...,d}. However that does not correspond to what is actually produced. I have a a in the first row and then only question marks. When I save the table to a file, I have the following output: new a \ifcase \pgfutil@tempcnta \or a\or b\or c\or d\or e\or f\or g\or h\or i\or j\or k\or l\or m\or n\or o\or p\or q\or r\or s\or t\or u\or v\or w\or x\or y\or z\else ?\fi \ifcase \pgfutil@tempcnta \or a\or b\or c\or d\or e\or f\or g\or h\or i\or j\or k\or l\or m\or n\or o\or p\or q\or r\or s\or t\or u\or v\or w\or x\or y\or z\else ?\fi

Attached, is a MWE

Thanks for the report! It was a bug in TikZ's \foreach \x in {a,...,d} : it did not fully expand the loop macro \x.

I have fixed it in PGF CVS.
