Generate values with a calculation field
When you want FileMaker Pro to perform a calculation for you, for
example to determine the amount of tax owed or the proper fee to be
paid, you use a
calculation field. Calculation fields are one of the
FileMaker Pro field types. FileMaker Pro can perform simple and
complex calculations.
The calculation formula uses values from the current record or
related records. The formula can use values from all field types. You
can use calculations to return text values (for example, combining
the contents of first name and last name fields into a full name field),
dates, times, timestamps, and the contents of container fields.
