Keep these points in mind:
1 When you type values, expressions, functions, and parameters, the
letters can be uppercase or lowercase. FileMaker Pro doesn’t
consider case for calculation purposes.

formula must be compatible with that field.
To Do this

Select Do not store calculation results—calculate only when needed.
To store the result in the field, deselect the option.
Index the result For Indexing, select On. To remove indexing, select Off. (See
“Indexing fields” on page 2-11.)
