- Was born out of frustration over maintaining complex Macros and Formulas
in Excel such as:
- =IF(AND($D$7=5,NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85,$AE$77*0.85,$AS$77*0.85)*1/($Q$11+$AE$11+$AS$11)>2),NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85,$AE$77*0.85,$AS$77*0.85)*1/($Q$11+$AE$11+$AS$11),IF(AND($D$7=5,NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85,$AE$77*0.85,$AS$77*0.85)*1/($Q$11+$AE$11+$AS$11)<2),NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85,$AE$77*0.85,$AS$77*0.85)*1/($Q$11+$AE$11+$AS$11),IF(AND($D$7=3,NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85,$AE$77*0.85)*0.9/($Q$11+$AE$11)>2),NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85,$AE$77*0.85)*0.9/($Q$11+$AE$11),IF(AND($D$7=3,NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85,$AE$77*0.85)*0.9/($Q$11+$AE$11)<2),NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85,$AE$77*0.85)*0.9/($Q$11+$AE$11),IF(AND($D$7=2,NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85)*0.8/$Q$11>2),NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85)*0.8/$Q$11,IF(AND($D$7=2,NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85)*0.8/$Q$11<2),NPV(0.15,$Q$77*0.85)*0.8/$Q$11))))))
Can YOU really decipher this formula? NOW and then after a FEW WEEKS?

- Grew to a ROBUST system that allows users to develop their OWN rules and
then create ACTIVE X or .NET Assembled COMPONENTS for use by server or
client applications to run automatically.
- Users can WRITE and CONTROL their own RULES and they can CHANGE them as
often as they want.
- I.T. becomes the recipient of the rules not the interpreter of the
rules.
- I.T. can package the rules inside more complex user interfaces and can
ensure they run correctly.
- Structured Formula Builder lets the USERS control the rules creation
though.

- Structured Formula Builder was DESIGNED FOR AND WITH BUSINESS USERS
- Just a few hours of training or reading of the HELP that is provided
with the product is all an ANALYTICAL business user will need.
- If you can understand the words IF, ELSE, and RETURN you are set!!!

- Suppose we want to TEST out the conditions. There are several aids. Here
we select “Show Values In Place” and can see what our Model will do
based on currently assigned values:

|
- This view shows how each variable is used throughout the model:
|
|
11
|
- The user can select data from an external source
|
|
12
|
- Once the model is built and tested, the user can create an ACTIVE X
component
|
|

|
- Documentation is built as the model is built. Select USER DOCUMENTATION:

- Example of automatically created User Documentation:

- The product is built with Visual Basic and PERL as the “engine”
- Any PERL function can be included in the application—which provides a
HUGE SUITE of built in functions for Statistics, String Parsing, and all
sorts of thing.
