How to add a computed field to a data set

3
To perform a calculation on all the rows in the data set, in Aggregation, select an aggregate function. If performing an aggregate calculation, you can optionally specify a filter expression in Filter to determine which rows to include in the calculation.
4
In Expression, specify the expression to calculate the desired value. You can either type the expression or use the expression builder to construct the expression. To use the expression builder, complete the following steps:

1
Choose the expression builder button to open the expression builder. In Category, select Available Data sets, then select your data set.
In the top pane, type an expression. You can also double-click an item to add it to the expression at the insertion point. Figure 3‑5 shows how to create an expression for a computed column.

To see all the columns that are specified in the data set, choose Output Columns. The computed field you created appears on this page.
