Constants

The rules syntax supports different types of constants.

Constants have these limitations:

  • Numeric. For example:

    [PROFIT:'Gross Margin in percent'] = [PROFIT:'Gross Margin'] / [PROFIT:'Revenue'] * 100

    In all numerical representations, the decimal separator must be a decimal point (.), irrespective of regional settings. Digit group separators are not supported.

  • Strings: They must be enclosed in single or double straight quotes.
  • #NA: Simulates an empty cell. The rule in this example specifies that no value is returned for cells in the slice of the Price measure and Variance value type.

    [MEASURE:'Price', VALTYPE:'Variance'] = #NA
