Function dialog box

Note: This dialog box is named for the selected function, such as Rank or NTile.

The Function dialog box is displayed if the selected function requires arguments or parameters. To view information about the arguments and parameters for the function, click Details at the bottom of the dialog box. Click OK when you have selected the arguments.

Arguments are the input values of a function. For example, the arguments of the Average function can be the metric to be averaged.

For each argument listed, type a value or click the Browse icon to find the metric, fact, prompt, or other compatible object to use.
Parameters allow you to determine the behavior of the function. For example, the NTile function has two parameters, Ascending and Tiles. Ascending controls whether the NTiles are ordered in ascending or descending order, while Tiles sets the number of splits.

For each parameter listed, type a value or select the option from the drop-down list.

For instructions to create a metric, see Creating a metric.
