10.9. Advanced Calculations
Certain calculations may entail multiple steps that require temporary fields to hold interim values. For example, a payment may be due on the last day of the month, but you may wish to schedule it for the day before.
In this case you need a variable field to temporarily store the end of month date. You can then use this field in the MinusDays function to calculate your final answer.
Creating a Temporary Variable
- Click the arrow button
to the right of the calculation's target field
.
The New variable dialog box appears.
- Type a name for the variable in the Variable name text box, and select the variable's type from the adjacent drop-down list.
- Select the new temp_EndOfMonth variable in the calculation's target field, and configure its calculation.
- Click the
button to the far right of the calculation's definition to create another calculation level.
- Complete the calculation of the pmt_dt field using the MinusDays method and the temp_EndOfMonth variable.
