In the
"Field
Explorer" view, right-click
Formulas and then click
New.
Type the name you want to
use to identify the formula.
Tip: You can also change
the name in the
"Properties" view. Select the
value for the Name property and type the name you want to use to identify the
formula.
Double-click your new
formula.
The formula template is displayed on
the Formulas page.
Create the formula by typing
in the components.
Tip:
Ctrl+Space will bring
up a list of the available functions. (For some locales, you need to use a
different shortcut to allow Content Assist to display the available functions,
such as Alt+/. Check your Eclipse preferences to verify or set the Content
Assist shortcut.) If you've started typing, Content Assist will bring up a list
of keywords that are possible matches for what you've already typed.
Use the Problems view
to identify syntax errors in your formula. To display the Problems view, from
the Window menu, select Show View and click Problems.
