Formulas
Specify a formula as part of validation options for a selected field or table column. Use basic arithmetic, comparative, logical, and functional operations.
Conseil : We recommended using functional operators instead of
mathematical operators when validating fields and tables for better
accuracy.
When formulating an expression remember the following:- All function names must be in capital letters.
- All formulas must result in either a true or false validation.
- Field and column names are case sensitive when used within formulas. If field is defined as Qty in design, using qty or QTY in formula results in an invalid formula.
- For variable declaration or manipulation, ensure not to use certain keywords that are reserved for formulating an expression, including SUM, SUB, DIV, MUL, COLSUM, IF.
Mathematical Operators
| Operations | Description | Syntax |
|---|---|---|
| + | Addition | Field/Column_Name1 + Field/Column_Name2 |
| - | Subtraction | Field/Column_Name1 - Field/Column_Name2 |
| * | Multiplication | Field/Column_Name1 * Field/Column_Name2 |
| / | Division | Field/Column_Name1 / Field/Column_Name2 |
Comparative Operators
| Operations | Description | Syntax |
|---|---|---|
| == | Equal To |
[Current Field/Column Name] == [expression comprised of one or more field/column name or fixed numeric values] For example, AMOUNT == MUL(QUANTITY, UNIT_PRICE) |
