Examples

The examples below are based on the following data:

value of the business figure [10003]: 47,600.00
value of the business figure [10003]: 12,400.00

Example 1

CODE

[10003] = 50000

new value of the business figure [10003]: 50,000.00

Example 2

CODE

[10003] = (50000, 51000, 52000)

new value of the business figure [10003] on the first calculation date: 50,000.00
new value of the business figure [10003] on the second calculation date: 51,000.00
new value of the business figure [10003] on the third calculation date: 52,000.00

Example 3

CODE

[10005] = [10003] * 0.3

new value of the business figure [10005]: 47,600.00 * 0.3 = 14,280.00
