About

Calculated value supported as the default value allows a user to set a default calculation in a non-calculated column. The calculation entered would then be automatically completed when a new list item is entered.

Calculated Fields

There are an abundance of calculated field formulas that can be used on your ShareVision site; Date calculations, times, averaging of numbers, counting values, and comparing contents of two different columns are just a few examples of what can be done. Calculated fields can be a powerful tool to get the most out of your site and alleviate your workload down the line.

When you are working with formulas it is important to know exactly what is needed. If the formula is not entered correctly you will only be presented with an error message, the message will not tell you what the error is or how to fix it.
