Formulas can be used to create custom data columns in ExpressView. Formulas are calculated once per each row, based on the other data values in that row. For each row calculation, a formula value is returned for that row, which populate a new column of data. This article applies to versions of the application released prior to v2021.1.

In addition to using the data fields that are available in the Data Objects Pane, formulas may be added as custom formula columns. Formulas may contain data objects, parameters and functions. Just like standard columns, a formula column may be either a detail field or group, and may be included in visualizations, formatted, sorted and filtered.

Formulas allow you to do calculations, parse strings, insert images, and much more. Formulas are the composition of functions, parameters, Data Fields, and references to other cells.
