Using calculation mappings

General

Calculation Mappings are very useful for performing various calculations based on integer or float numbers associated with particular key values for successive calculations (for example, displaying financial metrics in several different currencies for each value of a particular key). You can create several mappings for any key in your project. Mapping names are unique across each project.
