Basic usage

Creating and applying formulas in MathGrid is straightforward. Follow these steps to perform calculations directly within your InDesign tables.

Step-by-step workflow

Select a target cell:
Click in the table cell where you want the formula result to appear.
Set the target cell:
Click Add to target in the MathGrid panel to designate the selected cell as the formula destination.
Write your formula:
Enter your calculation in the formula input field. You can use cell references, numbers, operators, and functions.
Add cell references:
To insert a cell reference into your formula, select a cell in your table and click Add to formula.
Apply the formula:
Click Calculate to evaluate the formula and update the target cell with the result.

You can edit or overwrite formulas at any time by repeating these steps.
Formulas will automatically update if referenced cell values change (depending on your update settings).
Use formula functions to build more complex calculations as needed.
