Calculated Controls
What is it?
Expressions in controls produce row calculations, group totals, grand totals, dates, and page numbers.
In simple words
- Expressions in controls produce row calculations, group totals, grand totals, dates, and page numbers.
- Working method: first identify the input or starting state for calculated controls; then apply the rule or process in a clear order; finally inspect the output, test an edge case, and explain any limitation.
- Example: apply calculated controls to a small school, home, or software problem and trace the result.
Important terms
Calculated controls: Expressions in controls produce row calculations, group totals, grand totals, dates, and page numbers.
Calculated: Expressions in controls produce row calculations, group totals, grand totals, dates, and page numbers.
controls: Expressions in controls produce row calculations, group totals, grand totals, dates, and page numbers.
Expressions in controls produce row calculations: Expressions in controls produce row calculations, group totals, grand totals, dates, and page numbers.
group totals: Expressions in controls produce row calculations, group totals, grand totals, dates, and page numbers.
What you should learn
