Define Calculations for a Node

Define a calculation for a node so it computes its value based on other nodes in the model.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Select the target node

    Click the node on the canvas that should contain the calculation (for example, Revenue). The function editor opens automatically.

  2. Enter the calculation formula

    In the function editor, type the formula using existing node names (for example, 'Volume' * 'Price').

  3. Use node references correctly

    Make sure each referenced node name starts and ends with an apostrophe.

  4. Confirm the operation

    Save the operation to store the calculation.

Result

The selected node now calculates its value based on the defined formula. The model reflects the calculation logic between the connected nodes.

Troubleshooting

  • Referenced node is not recognized Check that the node name is spelled correctly and wrapped in apostrophes.
  • Auto-completion does not show the node Ensure the referenced node already exists in the model.
