Expressions Expressions are calculations inside parentheses. The Calculation Language lets you use expressions anywhere a single argument can be specified. Example In the calculation below, two arguments are used, the item PRICE and the constant 10. The result will be the value of PRICE multiplied by 10: PRICE * 10 You could substitute an expression for the constant, as follows: PRICE * (1 + 9) This, of course, produces the same result. You could also substitute a calculated item or function that returns the number 10, for the expression and you would obtain the same result.
