This must be contained in the following input data: Input Files | Financial-Data

operator

Stands for one of the basic arithmetic operations +, -, *, /.

value

Denotes the absolute amount with which the old value of the business figure is to be adjusted according to the calculation type of ‘operator’.

(value1, value2, ..., valueN)

Denotes a list of absolute amounts with which the old value of the business figure is to be adjusted according to the calculation type of ‘operator’.
Here, value1 is used for the first calculation date, value2 for the second calculation date, etc.

Examples

The examples below are based on the following data:

value of the business figure [10003]: 47,600.00

Example 1

CODE

[10003] + 50

new value of the business figure [10003]: 47,600.00 + 50.00 = 47,650.00

Example 2

CODE

[10003] / 2

new value of the business figure [10003]: 47,600.00 / 2 = 23,800.00

Example 3

CODE

[10003] - (100, 200, 300)

new value of the business figure [10003] on the first calculation date: 47,600.00 - 100.00 = 47,500.00
new value of the business figure [10003] on the second calculation date: 47,500.00 - 200.00 = 47,300.00
new value of the business figure [10003] on the third calculation date: 47,300.00 - 300.00 = 47,000.00

Example 4

CODE

[10003] - 100 + 500

new value of the business figure [10003]: 47,600.00 - (100.00 + 500.00) = 47,000.00
Note: Everything to the right of ‘operator’ is interpreted as a closed expression (i. e. as if it were in brackets).
