Open the formula builder window by selecting Create Formula in
the Fields panel, or selecting Add Summary Formula or
Add Row-Level Formula in the Columns menu.

Note A summary formula requires at least one group. - In the formula builder window, select the Einstein tab.
-
In the Einstein panel text field, describe the formula you want in simple terms in your
natural language. Be as specific as you can about the details of the formula. Name the
fields and functions, if possible, and define your concepts. See Guidelines for Requesting Row-Level Formulas or Guidelines for Requesting Summary Formulas.

- Pass your request to Einstein by pressing Enter or clicking the send arrow.
- After Einstein responds with a formula, take a moment to evaluate it. Is Einstein’s description of the formula in line with your request? Does the formula call the fields you were expecting, and are the functions appropriate to achieve what you want? If the formula isn’t what you want, you can start over. Einstein isn’t conversational, and follow-up questions aren’t supported. You must enter a new request.
-
If the formula looks good, click Insert Formula. Einstein also
adds the Column Name, Description, and Formula Output Type into the builder fields.

- Click Validate.
-
After checking the information that Einstein inserted, click
Apply.
