- Field type – Use the available drop down menu to select the field type for your formula.
- Field language – Use this drop down to select the language of your formula. You can use Popdock Script, C#, or SQL (where applicable).
- Add field – Use this drop down to select fields from your list to be used within the formula. The fields will be inserted into the formula in the field language selected.
- Add function – Popdock provides a variety of prebuilt functions. You can use these functions instead of manually typing all of your formula.
- Formula – This field is where you will comprise your calculated field.
- Validate – Once you have created your formula, you can click Validate to confirm it is a valid formula.
In this example, our field type is Currency and we will be using Popdock Script. In our formula, we are subtracting our Total costs field from our Total sales field to yield our Net Profit.
10. With your formula in place and validated, your calculated field is now available as a field to be used within your list.
