A custom formula column allows users a new column where each cell's value is dynamically calculated based on a formula. The formula can reference other columns, perform calculations, apply logical operations, or even use built-in functions.
If you have a dataset with columns "Price" and "Quantity", you could create a custom formula column called "Total Cost" that multiplies these two columns, with a formula like:
For Table, you can create a Fx column by clicking on the icon next to the last column.
For other widgets, you can find the Fx icon when adding the column to create a widget.
You will be asked to fill in the Column name and the Formula
Select the arrows next to Fields and Functions to browse and pick the desired column easily.
You can input directly into the Formula field to display results close to the result.
Click the Save column button to finish the setup.
Click the Discard button to go back to the previous state.
You can check at the bottom of the field to see if the Fx column is aggregated or analytic.
The newly create Fx column will be on the right side of the Table.
For other charts, you can select it on the list.
Click on the Formula text.
You can click directly on Properties to edit it.
This column is local to the View and won’t impact the data model
In pivot, aggregated/analytical columns can only be used in Values.
In the vertical bar, the aggregated/analytical column can only be used for the Y-axis.
Simply click the Delete button in the Edit column to delete the Fx column.
Click on the icon of the Fx column.
