Mathematical Examples

This screen demonstrates the use of the "Mathematical calculation of a field" option and how it may be used to produce a "virtual" field's value by performing a mathematical calculation.
Calculate the Gross sales price of a transaction by multiplying the Net sales price by the Current sales tax rate and adding the result to the Gross sales price:
