Expressions allows to manually create and edit [[Filters]] rules by using programming language. <div class="index-right">__TOC__</div>
'''Important''': After manually editing the expression, You can create expressions (formulas) directly in the regular operators dashboard components. It can thus display calculated values that are not be used until you ''Clear All'' present in the filters;datasource file/spreadsheet.
__TOC__To create the expression (formula) in the components, the component must support the addition of the special column ''Expression (Formula)''.
== Basic Expression Structures ==In TaticView , all columns in the data file can be used in expressions as long as they are also added to the component that will receive the expression.
=== Value Operands ===In addition, it is also possible to use fixed numbers and texts in the case of comparative expressions.
The value operands are values from a [[Columns Data Type|data type]] that are used in expressions as variables.
Expression Example:
==== Value type operand ====Are numeric values of * If the float type (Real numbers domain). These values allow component has the use of a integer columns ''Total Price'' and a fraction part''Quantity'', separated by you can create an expression to calculate the dot (.) character (decimal separator)''Unit Price''. Would be like this: ** ''"Total Price"''/ 'Examples'"Quantity"'': 1* In addition, 1.05you can use fixed values, 2.55;such as:** ''"Total price"'' / 10
==== Text type operand ====
Are literal string data operands. These values allow the use of characters chain fields (strings), being delimited by the simple quote (') character.
'''Examples''': 'John Snow', 'California', 'Spaghetti';
==== Date type operand ====Are values We just remember that express any datecurrently TaticView only supports expressions whose numeric return. It is possible to determine a date representing it as a string, being delimited by the simple quote (') character and separated by the bar (/) character. The default supported format is "dd/MM/yyyy". '''Examples''': '01/01/2011', '29/02/2000';
==== Boolean type operand ====
Are values from the ''true'' or ''false'' kind. Usually used to validate or not a condition.
'''Examples''': true e false;
==== Identifier type operand ====Are values Expressions support the backslash as [[EscapeChar|escape character]] so that represent a field or variable in names can contain the expression. Used to make reference to data source columns, delimited by double quotes ("). '''Examples''': "City.City", "Productdelimiting characters.Product";
==== Parenthesis ====Used to group and separate Below are details about how the expressions parts. Expressions inside parenthesis are processed first. '''Examples'''work: ("Profit" / "Total Price" ) + 10
==Basic structure of a Expression (Formula) == System variable type operand ====Are system pre-defined variables. These values are replaced in run-time by pre-determined values, delimited by double quotes (") and preceded by star (#). By now only one variable is available: "#null" that indicates null values or fields.
==== Identifier ====
It is the name of the field or column involved in the expression, it must be delimited by double quotes. * Examples: "Average Price". "Screw 1\" philips", "Seler" ==== Value Operand ==== It's the numerical values. You can use both while values and decimal values. For decimal values, the decimal separator should be the point. * Examples: 1, 1.05, 2.55 * Important: Do not use thousand separator in numeric values. ==== Text Operand ==== It's the text operands. If you want to use this type of operand in a expression, you must delimit them by the single quotation mark ('). * Examples: 'John Snow', 'California', 'Spaghetti'  ==== Date Operand ==== These are values that express any date. To represent a date in expressions the behaviour is similar to text operands, i.e. the content must be surrounded by single quotation marks ('). However, the mask ''dd/MM/yyyy'' must be used. * Examples: '01/01/2019', '14/11/2019', '25/12/2019'  ==== Boolean Operand ==== They're operators of the true or false type. Normally user to validate, or not, a condition in a more complex expression. * Examples: true, false  ==== Parentheses ==== Used to group and separate parts of on expression. Expressions within parentheses are processed first. * Example: ("Profit"/"Total Price") + 10  ==== System variable Operand ==== These are predefined variables in the system. To use the system variables you must precede them by hashtag (#) and delimit them by double quotes("). Currently only the "#null" variable is available and indicates null content. * Example: IF("Product" == "#null";0;20) == Arithmetic Expressions === Arithmetic expressions relate two operands (which can be any the operands described above, or another expression) to make up the sum, subtraction, multiplication or division.
The arithmetic expressions relate two operands (value or another expression) to compose a sum, subtraction, multiplication or division.
==== Sum (+) ====
Sum Add two value operandsor another expression result. Represented by the sum (''+) character'' charecter. Syntax: '' <operand/operating or expressionresult> '''+ ''' <operand/operating or expressionresult>''. Example: '''Examples''': "Taxes" + "Commissions";''' - Sums the values of the fields ''Taxes'' and ''Commissions'' 
==== Subtraction (-) ====
 Subtract two value operandsor another expression result. Represented by the subtract or hyphen (''-) character'' charecter. Syntax: '' <operand/operating or expressionresult> '''- ''' <operand/operating or expressionresult>''. Example: '''Examples''': "Gross SalePrice" - "Taxes";''' - Subtracts the values ​​from the ''Price'' and ''Taxes'' fields. 
==== Multiplication (*) ====
Multiplicate two operands. Represented by the multiplication or star (*) character.
Syntax: ''<operand/expression> * <operand/expression>''.
'''Examples''': "Amount" * "Unit Price";
Multiplies two value operands or another expression result. Represented by the multiplication charecter ''*''. Syntax: <operating or expression result> '''*''' <operating or expression result> Example: '''"Quantity" * "Unit Price"''' - Multiplies the value of the ''Quantity'' field by the value of the ''Unit Price'' field.  ==== Division(/) ====Divides Divide two value operandsor another expression result. Represented by the divide or bar (division charecter ''/) character''. Syntax: '' <operand/operating or expressionresult> '''/ ''' <operand/operating or expressionresult>''. Example: '''Examples''': "Total ValuePrice" / "AmountQuantity"''' - Divides the value of the ''Price'' field by the value of the ''Quantity'' field.  == Relational Expressions == Relational expressions compare two operands (value/text or other expression) to assess whether a condition is true or false. Normally used with decision functions, such as ''IF''. 
==== Equality (==) ====
It compares if two operands are the same, returning true if they are the same or false if they are different. Represented by the equality operator ''=== Relational Expressions ===''.
The relational expressions compare two operands (value Syntax: <operating or another expression) to evaluate if a condition is result> '''=='true'' <operating or expression result>Example: '''falseIF("Product" == "#null";0;20)''. Usually used with decision functions' - If the ''Product'' is null, like return the value ''IF0''.Otherwise return the value ''20''
==== Equal (==) ====
Performs the equal comparison expression between two operands. Represented by the equal operator (==).
Syntax: ''<expression> == <expression>''.
'''Examples''': "Unit Price" == "Total Price";
==== Different (!=) ====
Performs the different comparison expression between It compare if two operandsare different, returning true if they were different or false if equal. Represented by the different differente operator (''!=)''. Syntax: '' <operating or expressionresult> '''!= ''' <operating or expressionresult>''.Example: '''Examples''': IF("City.CityProduct" != 'New YorkLasagna';0;20)''' - If the ''Product'' is different from ''Lasagna'', return the value ''0''. Otherwise return the value ''20'' 
==== Greater than (>) ====
Return ''true'' if the first expression is greater than the second expression and ''false'' otherwise. Represented by the greater operator (>).
Syntax: ''<expression> > <expression>''.
'''Examples''': "Order Date" > '01/01/2011';
Compares if the first operator (from the left) is greater than the second operator (from the right), returning true if it is greater and false if it is lesser or equal. Represented by the greater operator ''>''. Syntax: <operating or expression result> '''>''' <operating or expression result>Example: '''IF("Gross Value" > 1000;1;0)''' - If the ''Gross Value'' is greater than ''1000'', returns the value ''1'', if not the value ''0''  ==== Greater or equal than to (>=) ====Return ''true'' Compares if the first operator (from the first expression left) is greater than or equal to the second expression operator (from the right), returning true if it is greater or equal and ''false'' otherwiseif it is lesser. Represented by the greater or equal operator ''>=''. Syntax: <operating or expression result> '''>=''' <operating or expression result>Example: '''IF("Gross Value" >=2500;100;0)''' - If ''Gross Value'' is greater than or equal to ''2500'' returns ''100'', otherwise returns ''0''  ==== Less than (<) ==== Compares if teh first operator (from the left) is lesser than the second operator (from the right), returning true if it is lesser and false if it is greater or equal. Represented by the Lesser operator ''<''. Syntax: <operating or expression result> '''<'''<operating or expressionresult> Example: '''IF("Gross Value" < 100;50;200)''' - If ''Gross Value'' is less than ''100'', returns ''50'' if not ''200''  ==== Less or equal to (<=) ==== Compares if the first operator (from the left) is lesser or equal to the second operator (from the right), returning true if it is lesser or equal and false if it is greater. Represented by the lesser or equal operator ''<=''. Syntax: <operating or expression result>'''<= ''' <operating or expressionresult>Example: '''IF("Gross Value" <= 500;100;0)''' - If ''Gross Value'' is less than or equal to ''500'' returns ''100'', if not ''0''  == Logical Expressions == Logical expressions group together two operands (Boolean or other expression) to make up a logical expression, in order to evaluate the relationship of two Boolean operators to a true or false result. This type of expression is usually used for decision making, such as IF and with relational expressions.  ==== And Operator (&&) ==== Executes the logical operation ''AND'' between two Boolean values. Both values must return true so that the result of the operation is true. Represented by the ''&&''operator. Syntax: <expression> && <expression>Examples: ''': IF(("Order DatePrice" >0) && ("Seller" == '01/01/2011John Snow');450;0)''' - If ''Price'' is greater than ''0'' '''AND''' ''Seller'' is equal to ''John Snow'', returns ''450'' if not returns ''0'' '''IF(("Order DateCity"!= "#null") && ("Product" != 'Lasagna');1;0);''' - If ''City'' is non-null '''AND''' ''Product'' is different from ''Lasagna'' returns ''1'' if it does not return ''0''
==== Lesser than (<) ====
Return ''true'' if the first expression is lesser than the second expression and ''false'' otherwise. Represented by the lesser operator (<).
Syntax: ''<expression> < <expression>''.
'''Examples''': "Profit" < '0';
==== Lesser or equal than Or Operator (<=||) ====Return ''true'' if the the first expression is lesser than or equal to the second expression and ''false'' otherwise. Represented by the lesser or equal operator (<=). Syntax: ''<expression> <= <expression>''. '''Examples''': IF("Order Date" <= '01/01/2011';"Order Date";0).
Performs the logical ''OR'' operation between two Boolean values. A two values must be true so that the result of the operation is true. Represented by the operator ''||''.
Syntax: <expression> || <expression>Examples: '''IF(("Price" > 1000) || ("Profit" >=50);75;55)''' - If ''Price'' is greater than ''1000'' '''OR''' ''Profit'' is greater than or equal to ''50'' returns ''75'' if not ''55'' '''IF(("City" !="#null") || ("Product" != Logical Expressions ==='Lasagna');1;0)''' - If ''City'' is non-null '''OR''' ''Product'' is different from ''Lasagna'' returns ''1'' if it does not return ''0''
The logical expressions group two operands (boolean type or another expression) to compose a logic expression, with the objective to evaluate two boolean operands relation into a ''true'' or ''false'' result. Usually used with decision functions, like the ''IF'', and with relational expressions.
==== And Denial Operator (&&!) ====Performs the logical operation ''AND'' between two boolean values. The two operands must be ''true'' for the result of the operation to be ''true''. Represented by the ''AND'' operator (&&). Syntax: ''<expression> && <expression>''. '''Examples''': IF((Gross Sales > '0') && (Seller == 'John Snow');'Sold';'Not Sold'), IF((City!="#null") && (Date<DAY_FROM_TODAY(0));1;0);
==== Or (||) ====Performs the logical negation operation ''OR'' between two for a boolean valuesvalue. One of the two operands must be ''true'' for If the result of the operation is true the negation operator converts to be ''true''false and vice versa. Represented by the ''OR'' operator (||). Syntax: ''<expression> || <expression>!''. '''Examples''': IF((Gross Sales > '0') || (Sold == 'true');'Sold';'Not Sold'), IF((City!="#null") || (Date<DAY_FROM_TODAY(0));1;0);
==== Not (Syntax: !) ====<expression>Example:Performs the denial logical operation for a boolean value. If the operand are ''true'IF(!BETWEEN("Delivery Date"; ' the 01/01/2015'; 'NOT31/12/2015');2016;2015)' convert it to ''false'' (and the other way around). Represented by - If the ''NOT'' operator (!). Syntax: Delivery Date''! <expression>is ''. 'NOT''Examples'between '': IF(!BETWEEN("Date", '01/01/20132015'' and ', '12/31/12/20132015'');returns 'Not 2013';2016'2013').If between this period returns ''2015''

==== Previous date ====Return Returns the closest exact previous date given a day and monthnumber of months between two dates. Syntax: ''PREVIOUS_DATE(<expression_day>;<expression_month>)''. Need Therefore, two date parameters, the first is the day of month and the second the month. '''Examples''': PREVIOUS_DATE(1;4) - return the closest ''01/04'', in other words, until "01/04/current year", returns "01/04/last year", after that returns "01/04/current year"are required.
Syntax:
NUM_OF_MONTHS(<date 1>; <date 2>)
Example:
'''NUM_OF_MONTHS(FIRST_DAY_OF(0; "Date"); "Date")''' - Returns the number of months between the first day of the year and the current month, based on the ''Date'' column.
==== Special variables ====
Special variables can be used with the expressions.==== PREVIOUS_DATE function (Previous date) ====
'''Important:''' The variables below must Given a day and a month, returns the last occurrence of that date. That is, if the current date (today) is less than the date passed by parameter (day / month), the return is the date (passed by parameter) of the previous year. Otherwise the return will be enclosed in double quotation marksthe current year date.
"@count" Syntax: PREVIOUS_DATE(<day>; <month>)Examples: '''PREVIOUS_DATE(15;12)''' - Total number of lines returned in a tableConsidering that today's date is 14/11/2019, the last time December 15th occurred relative to today's date was 15/12/2018, so this will be the return.
"@row" - current line number.
"@sum[Column]" - Sum of indicated column.== Special Variables ==
"@avg[Column]" - Avg of indicated column like @sum[Column] / @countThey can be used in conjunction with expressions to create complex calculations. Must be used in double quotation marks (“)
"@prev[column]" - Previous row column value
* '''"@count"''' - Total number of rows that were returned for the component.* '''"@row"''' - Current row number* '''"@sum[column]"''' - Sum of the indicated column.** Example: ''"@sum[Price]"'' - returns the sum of all rows in the ''Price'' column.* '''"@avg[column]"''' - Average column, similar to ''"@sum[column]"'' / ''"@count"''* '''"@prev[column]"''' - Row value before current row for this column* '''"@totalRowValue[column]"''' - Value of total row, (if present), from this column.* '''"@accumCol[column]" ''' - Current accumulated Cumulative value from column valueto current row. Useful to calculate Variable Avg (for calculating variable mean.** Example: ''"@accumCol[column]" '' / ''"@row")''
