#### Choosing the syntax

The top right corner of the Formula Editor contains the drop-down list where you choose either Crystal or Basic syntax for the formula you are creating.

Note: Changing the syntax from Crystal syntax to Basic syntax or vice versa will change the list of functions in the Functions window as well as the list of operators in the Operators window. The functions and operators differ from syntax to syntax.

The available report fields remain the same since the report fields are available to both syntaxes.

##### Setting the default syntax

When you open the Formula Editor, Crystal syntax appears as the syntax default. If you want to change the syntax default, select Options from the File menu, then click the Reporting tab. Choose the preferred syntax from the Formula Language drop-down list and click OK. When you access the Formula Editor, the syntax you selected appears as the default.
