Formula...:

This field displays the mathematical expression of the selected variable. Chromeleon uses this expression for internal calculations.

Linking several report variables (see Report Categories) via the four basic arithmetical operations generates a new report variable (see How to: Creating and Using Report Tables  Linking Report Variables). Several known variables can thus be combined to form a new variable.

For example, if you want to place the peak height in relation to the corresponding amount, this can be expressed as follows:

peak.height / peak.amount

 Note:

The Additional Functions supported in the Printer Layout, such as SUM or AVERAGE, are not supported here.
