Study Notes
Multi-Line Expressions in Flow.BI
- Expressions can span multiple lines.
- Results are displayed across multiple lines.
- Calculations use data fields, operators, and built-in functions.
Using Data Fields and Operators
- Reference data fields directly (e.g.,
{Quantity + UnitPrice}
). - Use operators (+, -, *, /, and parentheses) for calculations (e.g.,
{UnitPrice * (1 - Discount)}
). - Directly include data fields from the data source in the expression (e.g.,
{Quantity + UnitPrice}
). - Use arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, and parentheses) for calculations (e.g.,
{UnitPrice * (1 - Discount)}
).
Using Built-in Functions
- Flow.BI offers built-in functions for expressions.
- Calculate total price with a 10% discount:
{UnitPrice * Quantity * (1 - 0.1)}
. - Flow.BI provides various built-in functions for text expressions.
- Calculate total price with a 10% discount:
{UnitPrice * Quantity * (1 - 0.1)}
.
Tips for Using Expressions
- Test expressions with different data sets.
- Use parentheses to control calculation order.
- Format results using functions (numbers, dates, currencies).
- Optimize complex expressions for large datasets to prevent performance issues.
