Formulas allow professors to calculate values based off of variables and other formulas using the R programming language.
Formulas are written in a table. Formulas can be used as variables in other formulas, but only if that formula is defined above it in the table. Formulas can be reordered by dragging the bars icon on the left side of the row.
Unlike other parts of EduRITA, in formula definitions, variables and formulas are not referenced using the !{var_name} syntax. A variable or formula can be referenced by using its name, or by wrapping its name in back-ticks (`).
To find what functions can be used in formulas, and see the documentation for them. Click the “question-circle” icon next to the “Formulas” title of the table.
