Columns as Variables

When using a formula, you can assign a variable to reference another column in the structure, including another formula column.

To assign a variable to another column, look for the USED IN COLUMNS section in the Source drop-down.

Mapping a variable to a column

Used in Column copies the existing column. It does not link to that column. This means:

  • You can remove the original column without affecting your new formula. The calculations will continue to work just as they did at the moment you first configured the variable.

  • If you update the original column and want that update reflected in your new column, you need to remap the variable.
