How-to Guide
1. Create a formula field and use EXP
Entry: Add Field → Formula
- Open the multidimensional table that you want to edit.
- Click Add Field.
- Select Formula as the field type.
- Enter a formula that includes
EXPin the formula editor. - Click Confirm to save and check whether the calculated result appears in the related record.
Success Criteria
- A new formula field has been added successfully.
- After saving, the record shows the calculated result.
Tips While Using
- Make sure the formula follows the syntax supported by the formula editor.
- If you reference other fields, confirm that their values are suitable for numeric calculation.
2. Check the parameter format
Entry: Formula Editor → Function Library → EXP
- Open the formula editor in the multidimensional table.
- Go to the function library or function description area.
- Find
EXP. - Review the parameter format and input structure.
- Complete your formula based on that format.
Success Criteria
- You have found the EXP function description.
- You can write the correct function structure from the format shown.
Tips While Using
- Before entering a parameter, confirm that the value used in the calculation is numeric.
- If the formula is long, start with the basic structure and then add nested logic step by step.
3. Enter a formula from an example
Entry: Formula Field → Formula Editor
- Create or open a formula field.
- Enter an example formula such as
EXP(1)in the editor. - Replace the example with your target expression based on your actual field values.
- Save the formula and check whether the result updates when the data changes.
Success Criteria
- The example formula returns a result normally.
- The updated formula continues to display refreshed values in records.
Tips While Using
- If an error appears, test a simple example first to confirm that the function itself works.
- When EXP is part of a longer formula, check each formula segment one by one.
