How-to Guide

1. Create a formula field and use SIN

Entry path: Add Field → Formula

  1. Open the multidimensional table that you want to edit.
  2. Click Add Field on the toolbar.
  3. Select Formula as the field type.
  4. Enter a formula that includes SIN in the formula editor.
  5. Click Confirm to save and check the calculated result in the field.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: A new formula field appears in the table.
  • Next action available: You can continue editing the formula or reviewing the result.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not choose the Formula field type, you cannot enter a function formula.
  • Environment note: You need permission to edit the current multidimensional table.

2. Check the parameter format and enter the formula

Entry path: Formula Editor → Function Library → SIN

  1. Open the function library in the formula editor.
  2. Select SIN to review its syntax.
  3. Enter the formula in the SIN(parameter) format.
  4. Fill in a target value or a referenced field as needed.
  5. Save the formula and check whether a result is returned.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The full SIN formula appears in the formula editor.
  • Next action available: After saving, you can see the calculated value in the record.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If the parameter format is incomplete or parentheses are not closed, the formula may not save.
  • Environment note: The input should fit a numeric calculation scenario.

3. Use a sample formula to verify the result

Entry path: Formula Field → Enter a sample formula

  1. Create or select a formula field.
  2. Enter a sample formula such as SIN(target range) or adjust it to your current field structure.
  3. Save the formula and check whether the result appears immediately.
  4. Change the source data and confirm that the result updates with the data.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The formula field shows the calculated result.
  • Next action available: After data changes, the result can refresh accordingly.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If the referenced content is not a calculable numeric value, the result may be abnormal.
  • Environment note: Sample formulas may need adjustment based on the actual field structure.
