Testing a formula table

Before you begin

If you have not already done so, open the Formula Table window and then display the formula table you want to test.

  1. Open the Formula Table window in one of the following ways:

    • On the ribbon, from the Calculations group on the Data tab, click Formula Tables.
    • In classic view, click Database menu > Formulas > Formula Tables.
  2. Click List button and select the formula table you want to work with.

To test a formula table:

  1. Click [Test].

  2. Enter values for each of the variables listed in the Test Formula Table window. Use values that will produce a result you can verify rather than random values.

    Click [Total] or press Enter from the last variable to display the result.

  3. Check the result displayed in the Total text box.

    You can use the Sage Estimating (SQL) calculator to check the result. For more information, see Using the calculator to check a formula.

  4. When you finish testing the formula table, click [Close] to return to the Formula Table window.

  5. Did your formula table calculate properly?
    • Yes. Congratulations, you are done!
    • No. Change the formula table as needed, and then test it again.
