# Formulas

This section describes the formulas available to users for on-the-fly data analysis. The formula editor allows end users to add formula-based columns to their SuperTables view using the measures and dimensions available to them.

#### Formatting options

Formulas can be formatted as a decimal number, currency or percentage. The amount of decimals can be edited, as well as the pre-and-suffix appended to the calculated measure.

#### IF/ELSE configuration

Using the If-Else Formula Editor, advanced formulas can be created using conditions for both strings and values. Set the “if” statement, calculations for when the condition is and isn’t met, and potential other “if” statements using additional “else-if” blocks. Advanced conditions using AND/OR clauses can also be set in these formulas.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/supertables/features/formulas.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
