    Building Your Own Expressions

    You can build your own expressions to work within the data grids of OpenGround Cloud or as part of an object within template studio. Expressions can be tricky to set up when you first start building them and we recommend you work through the examples in this section of the user guide before attempting your own.

    It is best to try expressions out in template studio first as you can get instant feedback on the results of each equation.

    The general syntax for expressions is similar to Excel. We have not been able to fully mirror all the functions in Excel but hopefully the syntax is similar enough to make a lot of the functions in OpenGround Cloud seem familiar with users who are able to write Equations in Excel.
