#### Formula Fields

Use the Formula Field branch of the tree as a gateway for editing, renaming, or deleting formulas, creating new formulas, or inserting formula fields into your report.

The formula list displays the names of all the formula fields currently in your report. You insert formula fields by dragging them into the report, or by selecting them and then clicking Insert to Report.

Each formula field added to the report has a check mark added in front of its name in the Field Explorer.

##### Insert to Report

Use this button to insert the formula field selected in the Formula Fields list into your report.

##### New

This button opens the Formula Name dialog box where you can specify a name for your formula. This option is available from the root of the Formula Fields branch so you can create a new formula for your report even when there are no existing formulas.

To add a new formula, add a name in the Formula Name dialog box, click OK, and create a formula in the Formula Editor.

##### Edit

This button opens the Formula Editor and displays the currently selected formula for you to edit.

##### Rename

This button lets you rename the formula you select in the Formula Fields list. Formula Fields can be renamed in the standard Windows fashion.

##### Delete

This button deletes the formula field selected in the Formula Field list. If the formula is already on the report, you are asked to confirm the deletion as it will also be deleted from the report.
