To create a numeric expression

Create numberic expressions with the Expression Editor. Numeric expressions use math functions and operators, and are useful for performing calculations based on numeric properties or values within expressions.

  1. Open the Expression Editor. See To create an expression for more information.
  2. Enter a Math Function manually in the expression area, or select the desired Math Function from the Expression Elements Menu.
  3. Type a property name directly into the Expression Area or select the property from the Expression Elements Menu.
  4. Specify any arguments required by the function. For example:
    • To truncate the value for cost of space per square foot to a specified number of digits, use the expression: Trunc(COST_PSF, 2)
    • To check the sign of an elevation value, use the expression: Sign(ELEVATION)
  5. Click OK to apply the expression.
