Variable?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

Hello,

Is there a way to use a separate set value in a formula,

I have a table of products and there are columns with minutes each production step. I made a column ‘total production time’ with a fx formula that sums up these minute columns. 
Now I want a new column that calculates the cost prices of that product using the ‘total production time’ multiplied by hourly cost price. 
As this value may change over time, I would like to have it looked up in the formula. 
Is there some way to do this? Store a variable or so? Or how to handle this?

    Hi @Foxman_NL ,

     

    How about modifying the value in the formula column directly?

    Formula columns cannot reference values from another table unless another table has a relationship with this data source.

     

    Best Regards,
