Edit Formula

Fathom Reference > Fathom Menus > Edit Menu > Edit Formula

Available when you have selected an attribute or a formula (for example, a function plotted on a graph or a formula in a summary table) or a numeric field in a statistical object. Choosing it brings up a formula editor. If there was no formula present, the editor is empty; otherwise, the existing formula appears in the formula pane for editing.

Using this command is equivalent to double-clicking a formula or formula cell.

Warning: If an attribute that already has values is given a formula, the formula replaces the data with computed values. To calculate values from existing attributes, create a new attribute and add the formula to that.

Shortcut: Win: Ctrl+E; Mac: z+E
