Step-by-Step guide to configure formula for Number Calculated Field

Calculated fields are specific object properties (fields) that automatically generate values whenever a new record is created or an existing record is updated. The concept of this Codeless ONE feature is described in a separate article here

Since there are three types of supported fields, the process of creating a formula is outlined in separate articles.  This ensures clarity and precision in configuration. This article explains how to configure formula for a Number Calculated Field.
