Arithmetic Operations Support (Row Level Math)

Arithmetic operations such as addition and division are not allowed in custom group definitions. However, complicated mathematical expressions can be created in consolidations using the following operators:

• +
• -
• *
• /
• ( )

This means that row level math, or mathematical operations between elements, can be performed in consolidations but not in custom groups. Row level math is a powerful tool in reporting, since it allows rows to be specified by mathematical operations.
