To open the Formula Editor:
- Do one of the following:
- For a new widget, click Select Data, and then
.
- For an existing widget, click on the edit formula button
.
- For a new widget, click Select Data, and then
The Formula Editor has two tabs, the Data Browser to select fields and the Functions tab to select formula operations. You can create a formula combining one or more function, field and filters. The diagram below highlights the main components of the formula panel.
- Functions are operations which perform different calculations, for example a sum. Use the ‘Jump To’ menu or the search box to quickly find the formula you need.
- Fields in the Data Browser are variables contained in the data set (Data Cube). Clicking on a field in the data browser will include it as part of the formula.
- Creating Formulas Based on Criteria and Conditions (Filters) can be applied to restrict formulas based on criteria.
- Reusing Formulas is a way to save a formula for later use.
- The Formula Editor window can be expanded by clicking the expand button at the top right.
