#### Entering formula components

The Report Fields, Functions, and Operators tree at the top of the Formula Editor contain the primary formula components. Double-click any component from these trees to add this component to your formula.

For example, if you set the syntax to Basic Syntax and double-click the `Operators -> Control Structures -> Multi-Line If` in the `Operators` tree, the following text is transferred to the Formula text window with the cursor between the If and Then:

    If | Then
    ElseIf Then
    Else
    End If

The above text helps you organize the parts needed to write your formula.

The following example in Crystal syntax shows how double-clicking on the report fields, functions, and operators insert the required syntax for a formula.
