<div class="index-right">__TOC__</div>
__TOC__<!--T:69-->You can create expressions (formulas) directly in the dashboard components. It can thus display calculated values that are not present in the datasource file/spreadsheet.
== Basic <!--T:70-->To create the expression (formula) in the components, the component must support the addition of the special column ''Expression Structures ==(Formula)''.
=== Value Operands ===<!--T:71-->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.
The value operands are values from a [[Columns Data Type|data type]] that are used in expressions as variables.
<!--T:72-->
In addition, it is also possible to use fixed numbers and texts in the case of comparative expressions.
* '''Value type operand''': Are numeric values of the float type (Real numbers domain). These values allow the use of a integer and a fraction part, separated by the dot (.) character (decimal separator).
'''Examples''': 1, 1.05, 2.55;
* '''Text type operand'''<!--T: Are literal string data operands. These values allow the use of characters chain fields (strings), being delimited by the simple quote (') character. 73--> '''Examples'''Expression Example: 'John Snow', 'California', 'Spaghetti';
<!--T:74-->* If the component has the columns ''Total Price'Date type operand'and '': Are values that express any date. It is possible Quantity'', you can create an expression to determine a date representing it as a string, being delimited by calculate the simple quote (') character and separated by the bar (/) character'Unit Price''. The default supported format is Would be like this:** ''"dd/MM/yyyyTotal Price". ''/ 'Examples'"Quantity"''* In addition, you can use fixed values, such as: ** '01/01/2011', "Total price"''29/02/2000';10
* '''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'''<!--T: Are values 75-->We just remember that represents a field or variable in the expression. Used to make reference to data source columns, delimited by double quotes ("). '''Examples''': "City.City", "Productcurrently TaticView only supports expressions whose numeric return.Product";
* '''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.
<!--T:225-->
Expressions support the backslash as [[EscapeChar|escape character]] so that names can contain the delimiting characters.
=== Arithmetic Expressions ===<!--T:76-->Below are details about how the expressions work:
The arithmetic expressions relate two operands == Basic structure of a Expression (value or another expressionFormula) to compose a sum, subtraction, multiplication or division.== <!--T:77-->
* '''Sum (+)'''==== Identifier ==== <!--T: Sum two operands. Represented by the sum (+) character. Syntax: ''<operand/expression> + <operand/expression226-->''. '''Examples''': "Taxes" + "Commissions";
* '''Subtraction (<!-)'''-T: Subtract two operands. Represented by 227-->It is the name of the subtract field or hyphen (-) character. Syntax: ''<operand/column involved in the expression> - <operand/expression>'', it must be delimited by double quotes. '''Examples''': "Gross Sale" - "Taxes";
* '''Multiplication (*)'''<!--T: Multiplicate two operands. Represented by the multiplication or star (*) character. 228--> Syntax: ''<operand/expression> * <operand/expression>''. '''Examples''': "AmountAverage Price". "Screw 1\" * philips", "Unit PriceSeler";
* '''Division(/)''': Divides two operands. Represented by the divide or bar (/) character. Syntax==== Value Operand ==== <!--T: ''<operand/expression> / <operand/expression78-->''. '''Examples''': "Total Value" / "Amount".
<!--T:79-->
It's the numerical values. You can use both while values and decimal values. For decimal values, the decimal separator should be the point.
=== Relational Expressions ===<!--T:80-->* Examples: 1, 1.05, 2.55
The relational expressions compare two operands (value or another expression) two evaluate if a condition is ''true'' or ''false''. Usually used with decision functions, like the ''IF''<!--T:220-->* Important: Do not use thousand separator in numeric values.
* '''Equal (==)''': Performs the equal comparison expression between two operands. Represented by the equal operator (==). Syntax: ''<expression> Text Operand ==== <expression!--T:81-->''. '''Examples''': "Unit Price" == "Total Price";
* '''Different (<!=)--T:82-->It''': Performs s the different comparison expression between two text operands. Represented If you want to use this type of operand in a expression, you must delimit them by the different operator single quotation mark (!='). Syntax: ''<expression> != <expression>''. '''Examples''': "City.City" != 'New York';
* '''Greater than (>)'''<!--T: Return ''true'' if the the first expression is greater than the second expression and ''false'' otherwise. Represented by the greater operator (83-->). Syntax* Examples: 'John Snow'<expression> > <expression>', '. California', 'Spaghetti'Examples''': "Order Date" > '01/01/2011';
* '''Greater or equal than (>=)''': Return ''true'' if the the first expression is greater than or equal to the second expression and ''false'' otherwise. Represented by the greater or equal operator (>=).
Syntax: ''<expression> >= <expression>''.
'''Examples''': IF("Order Date" >= '01/01/2011';"Order Date";0);
* '''Lesser than (==== Date Operand ==== <)'''!--T: Return ''true'' if the the first expression is lesser than the second expression and ''false'' otherwise. Represented by the lesser operator (<). Syntax: ''<expression> < <expression84-->''. '''Examples''': "Profit" < '0';
* '''Lesser or equal than (<=)'''!--T: Return ''true'' if the 85-->These are values that express any date. To represent a date in expressions the first expression behaviour is lesser than or equal similar to text operands, i.e. the second expression and ''false'' otherwise. Represented content must be surrounded by the lesser or equal operator single quotation marks (<='). Syntax: However, the mask ''<expression> <= <expression>''. '''Examples''': IF("Order Date" <= '01dd/01MM/2011yyyy';"Order Date";0)' must be used.
<!--T:86-->
* Examples: '01/01/2019', '14/11/2019', '25/12/2019'
=== Logical Expressions ===
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.==== Boolean Operand ==== <!--T:87-->
<!--T:88-->
They're operators of the true or false type. Normally user to validate, or not, a condition in a more complex expression.
* '''And (&&)''': 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<!--T: ''<expression89--> && <expression>''. '''* Examples''': IF((Gross Sales > '0') && (Seller == 'John Snow');'Sold';'Not Sold')true, IF((City!="#null") && (Date<DAY_FROM_TODAY(0));1;0);false
* '''Or (||)''': Performs the logical operation ''OR'' between two boolean values. One of the two operands must be ''true'' for the result of the operation to be ''true''. 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 (!)''': Performs the denial logical operation for a boolean value. If the operand are ''true'' the ''NOT'' convert it to ''false'' (and the other way around). Represented by the ''NOT'' operator (==== Parentheses ==== <!). Syntax--T: ''! <expression90-->''. '''Examples''': IF(!BETWEEN("Date", '01/01/2013', '31/12/2013');'Not 2013';'2013').
<!--T:91-->

This function has two variations: <!--T:192-->* With two parameters, the first is the grouping constant from which we want to get the first date (see list above), and monththe second is the base date. <!--T:193-->Syntax: FIRST_DAY_OF(<date part>; <base date>)Examples: '''PREVIOUS_DATEFIRST_DAY_OF(0;DAY_FROM_TODAY(0))''' - Returns the first day of the year from today '''FIRST_DAY_OF(1;"Issue Date")''' - First Day of Month Based on ''Issue Date'' Column <!--T:195-->* With three parameters, the first is the grouping constant from which we want to get the first date (see list above), the second is the date base modifier from today, and the third is the amount to change the modifier. <!--T:196-->Syntax: FIRST_DAY_OF(<expression_daydate part>;<expression_monthdate modifier>;<date modifier value>)Example: '''FIRST_DAY_OF(1;0;-1)''' - first day of current month of last year  ==== LAST_DAY_OF function (Last day of) ==== <!--T:197--> <!--T:198-->Returns the last day of a date grouping. This function has two variations. Need  <!--T:199-->* With two parameters, the first is the grouping constant from which we want the last date (see list above), and the second is the base date. <!--T:200-->Syntax: LAST_DAY_OF(<date part>; <base date>)Examples: '''LAST_DAY_OF(0;DAY_FROM_TODAY(0))''' - Returns the last day of the year from today. '''LAST_DAY_OF(1;"Date Issued")''' - Last day of month based on ''Date Issued'' column <!--T:202-->* With three parameters, the first is the grouping constant from which we want the last date (see list above), the second is the date base modifier from today, and the third is the amount to change the modifier. <!--T:203-->Syntax: LAST_DAY_OF(<date part>;<date modifier>;<date modifier value>)Example: '''LAST_DAY_OF(1;0;-1)''' - last day of current month of last year  ==== NEW_DATE function (New date) ==== <!--T:204--> <!--T:205-->Creates a new date. It needs three parameters, the first corresponds to the day (between 1 and 31), the second month (between 1 and 12) and the third theyear. The date is created from year to day, ie the day must be valid for the month and year (considering 29/02, the year must be leap). <!--T:206-->Syntax: NEW_DATE(<day>;<month>;<year>)Example: '''NEW_DATE(1;4;DATE_PART("Issued Date";0))''' - Creates the first April day of the year determined by the current row in the ''Issued Date'' column.  ==== NUM_OF_DAYS function (Number of days) ==== <!--T:207--> <!--T:208-->Returns the number of days between two dates. Therefore you need two dates. <!--T:209-->Syntax: NUM_OF_DAYS(<date 1>; <date 2>)Examples: '''NUM_OF_DAYS(FIRST_DAY_OF(0;"Issued Date");"Issued Date")''' - Returns the number of days from the first day of the year, based on the ''Issued Date'' column, to the current day, based on the same column. '''ExamplesNUM_OF_DAYS(FIRST_DAY_OF(1;"Issued Date");LAST_DAY_OF(1;"Issued Date"))''' - Returns the number of days of the month, based on the ''Issued Date''column.  ==== NUM_OF_MONTHS function (Number of months) ==== <!--T:211--> <!--T:212-->Returns the number of months between two dates. Therefore, two date parameters are required. <!--T: PREVIOUS_DATE213-->Syntax: NUM_OF_MONTHS(<date 1>; <date 2>)Example: '''NUM_OF_MONTHS(FIRST_DAY_OF(0; "Date");4"Date") ''' - return Returns the number of months between the first day of the year and the current month, based on the closest ''01/04Date''column.  ==== PREVIOUS_DATE function (Previous date) ==== <!--T:214--> <!--T:215-->Given a day and a month, in other wordsreturns the last occurrence of that date. That is, until "01/04if 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 the current year"date. <!--T:216-->Syntax: PREVIOUS_DATE(<day>; <month>)Examples: '''PREVIOUS_DATE(15;12)''' - Considering that today's date is 14/11/2019, returns "01the last time December 15th occurred relative to today's date was 15/0412/last year"2018,so this will be the return.  == Special Variables == <!--T:217--> <!--T:218-->They can be used in conjunction with expressions to create complex calculations. Must be used in double quotation marks (“)  <!--T:219--> after * '''"@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]"01/04'' /''"@count"''* '''"@prev[column]"''' - Row value before current yearrow for this column* '''"@totalRowValue[column]"''' - Value of total row, (if present), from this column.* '''"@accumCol[column]"''' - Cumulative value from column to current row. Useful for calculating variable mean.** Example: ''"@accumCol[column]"'' / ''"@row"'' </translate>
