<p><ph conkeyref="text_variables/ProdName01"></ph> can perform simple
or complex calculations of item data in fields, charts, and reports
using computed expressions. A computed expression is any combination
of mathematical or logical operators, constants, functions, and <ph
conkeyref="text_variables/ProdName01"></ph> fields that evaluates
to a single value. This functionality offers more power and flexibility
to your <ph conkeyref="text_variables/ProdName01"></ph> database by
dynamically producing specific information about your item data.</p>
