Formatting Formulas

Operators

Thank Kuovonne for creating this content!
Operators are a little more challenging to format than functions because they do not inherently have starting and ending parenthesis like functions. However, we can add parenthesis around the expression anyway.
Here is an example of finding the average of three values.
(
SUM(
{value1},
{value2},
{value3}
)
/
3
)
Sometimes if the operator is very short, I tuck it at the end of the closing parenthesis of a previous function.
SUM(
{value1},
{value2},
{value3}
) / 3
