Use this function to create those calculated report lines. There are several combinations of these items that you can choose to calculate: Budget Line divided by Budget Line, Budget Line divided by KBI, KBI divided by Budget Line, or KBI divided by KBI. You can also use the Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiple Budget Lines and/or KBIs to make up one side of the calculation (Operand 1 or Operand 2). By using the Shift or Ctrl keys, you can select multiple KBIs.
