How-to Guide
1. Create a formula field and call ROUND
Entry: Add Field → Formula
- Open the multidimensional table where you want to process data.
- Click Add Field.
- Select Formula as the field type.
- Enter a formula that includes
ROUNDin the formula editor. - Click Confirm and review the calculated result in the new field.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: A new formula field appears in the table.
- Next action available: You can keep editing the formula or review results for each record.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: If you do not choose the Formula field type first, you cannot enter the function correctly.
- Environment note: You need edit permission for the current multidimensional table.
2. Set ROUND argument format
Entry: Formula Editor → Function Library → ROUND
- Locate
ROUNDin the formula editor. - Enter the value or field that you want to process.
- Enter the number of decimal places to keep.
- Check that parentheses, commas, and field references are correct.
- Save the formula and confirm that the result matches your expectation.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The formula saves without an error message.
- Next action available: Updating the arguments changes the result accordingly.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Using a text field directly as a number may produce an unexpected result.
- Environment note: If a field name changes, review the original formula reference as well.
3. Write and verify a ROUND example
Entry: Formula Field → Edit Formula
- Enter a sample ROUND formula in the formula field.
- Replace sample values with actual business fields or numbers.
- Combine ROUND with other functions if needed.
- Save the formula and compare the rounded result with the original value.
- Update the source data and confirm that the formula result refreshes automatically.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The formula field shows the rounded output.
- Next action available: When source data changes, the result changes as well.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Leaving sample values unchanged can make the result irrelevant to your workflow.
- Environment note: Test a simple formula first before expanding to nested logic.
