Can I use formulas in my BoQ / Estimate document

QUESTION
Is there a way of inserting formulas in my measurement rows and how are they represented in my printouts

ANSWER
Yes, in your case when a measurement row contains a formula in one of the dimension fields, for example the eq.parts field with a formula such as: 1*5 --> see illustration

In the 'DIMENSIONS' field (eq.parts, leng., width e H/weight) you can insert whatever kind of formula necessary.

Formulas can be defined with:

- brackets and all types of algebrical operators, etc.


If you don't want to see the formula in your printed documents but only the result, simply select the print WITHOUT Formulas option in the General section available in the BoQ printing options; by default the 'print STANDARD Formula' option is active --> see figure
