Flashcards

Multi-Line Expression

An expression in Flow.BI that can span across multiple lines, allowing you to write complex calculations and logic.

Data Fields

Data fields are pieces of information that come from your dataset, like 'Quantity' or 'UnitPrice'.

Operators

Operators like '+' (addition), '-' (subtraction), '*' (multiplication), '/' (division), and parentheses are used to perform basic mathematical calculations.

Built-in Functions

Built-in functions are pre-defined formulas that simplify calculations. For example, calculating a discounted price involves using the function '1 - Discount'.
