The Calculation Columns are shown in the column headings of your Calculation Templates and they are also
used in the Calculation Formulas.
Before you start creating Calculation Templates, you need to determine which Calculation Columns you would
like to use in your Calculation Templates and how you want to name them. You can name the Calculation Columns
in two different ways but once they have been used in Calculation Formulas, you will not be able to change
the Names.
When you initialize a new Company by running codeunit ID 2 "Company-Initialize", the
Calculation Columns will automatically be filled with the Names A to
J similar to the names of columns in an Excel Sheet.
In a Calculation Template you can enter different column descriptions but in the Calculation Formulas you
still use the A to J as you would do in a formula in a cell of an Excel Sheet.
In the Calculation Columns window you can enter different Names if you do not want to use
the standard A to J. If you do so, these modified Names will be used as
references in the Calculation Formulas.
We recommend that you only use this possibility if you are absolutely sure that you will always use identical
Calculation Column Names in all Calculation Templates. You will still be able to enter
different column descriptions in the individual Calculation Templates but as the Names created in the
Calculation Columns window always will be used in the Calculation Formulas, it can be very
confusing with two different modified Names as column caption and formula reference, respectively.
