I am trying to write a Simplified Field Notation using the formula below.  Can someone tell me what is wrong with this formula?

((EXPECTED REVENUEA * INTENDED QUANTITYA)-COST BASIS VALUEA)*SHAREA

Correct answer George_Johnson

try67 meant "backslash" instead of "back-space", so it should look like:

((EXPECTED\ REVENUEA * INTENDED\ QUANTITYA) - COST\ BASIS\ VALUEA) * SHAREA

You need to add a back-space before each space inside a field's name...

I recommend you switch over to using JavaScript if your formulas are not so simple, though.
