Working With Calculated Fields
When you define calculated fields, keep the following in mind.
Specify data types that are appropriate for the resulting calculated values. For example, to concatenate two string fields, specify the String or Text data types. Or, for a field that stores price or tax information, specify the Currency data type. For a field that stores item totals or numbers of days, specify the Integer data type.
Custom logic is calculated inside records, which means all the fields within the record being created or updated can be used for calculation.
In the logic you write, you can use the import keyword to include standard libraries, such as JodaTime, which is used to perform date and time calculations.
