Insert Constants
Formulas can be simple assignments of numeric, character, or row state constants, or they can contain
complex evaluations based on conditional clauses. Constants include commonly used numeric terms, such
as e, pi, -1, 0, 1, and 2. There are two ways to add a constant value to a formula:
• Type them in manually using the keyboard
• Select them from the formula element browser, as shown in Figure 7.3.
