Formula Field
Use
To calculate a value for a calculated characteristic, enter a formula in this field. The formula will be evaluated by the SAP formula interpreter in the following places:
- In the task list (checked for correct syntax)
The function module CHECK_FORMULA checks whether a formula stored as a literal or as variable has the correct syntax.
- In results recording (when the value of the calculated characteristic is to be calculated)
Example
A formula can be structured as follows (with the standard settings):
Characteristic 10 stands for the length and characteristic 20 stands for the width. Characteristic 30 represents the area and is to be calculated from characteristics 10 and 20.
Characteristic 30 is therefore a calculated characteristic with the following formula:
- General: Area = Length * Width
- Formula interpreter: Area = ppnnnn * ppnnnn
The variable 'pp' defines the formula parameter and 'nnnn' represents the characteristic from which the value of the formula parameter is taken. - Example: Area = C00010 * C00020
'C0' stands for the arithmetic mean value and '0010' or '0020' for the respective characteristic
