Custom Tokens contain user-defined combinations of tokens and text to create custom statistics. The custom combinations are created using mathematical calculations and/or functional operators to define the custom token formula. These formulas can contain any token including Statistic tokens, Keyword tokens, or even other Custom tokens.

 

Once defined, custom tokens are inserted into text boxes the same way other tokens are inserted. During data analysis, the custom token formula is evaluated by FCS Express and the result is displayed in the text box containing the custom token. With custom token formulas you can:

 

•Create mathematical expressions to combine tokens and/or text

 

•Create conditional statements using IF..THEN..ELSE qualifiers

 

•Convert a string of numeric values into a text result such as Positive or Negative

 

The following sections will help you understand the power of Custom Tokens. A comprehensive list of all Custom Token formula operators and functions is also provided.

 

Note: FCS Express 5 uses Excel-style formula evaluation. Therefore, formulas must start with "=".
