To edit an existing calculation, use the dropZone or Workbench.

Your calculated series are marked with a blue formula flask. When you hover on the series and click on its flask
you get a menu with several calculation options. The first one opens the formula editor with the formula and setting for the calculation being edited.


Tab:
Formula

Inputs Section

The Series you checked are the inputs to your Formula:
Calculation Inputs

Formula Section

Use V1, V2, etc. as your formula variables:
Calculation Formula

By their very nature, Formulas are an open-ended topic. These are excellent points of departure:

Buttons Section

Use these buttons to test and finally save your Formula:
Calculation Buttons

Tab:
Options (Advanced)

These options are used to override the natural default behaviors for NA handling and the padding/trimming of series that do not start and end at the same point in time.
