Hi.

I suspect you might have the wrong mailing list. I'm replying to the
list so you don't get a pile of similar posts.

I'll try to answer your question anyway, but I'd suggest following it up
on the openoffice web forums.

In short, you can do calculations using starbasic macros or using SQL
commands. Which you use depends on what you're trying to calculate and
where. It probably also provides some way to enter expressions like a*b
in the query designer but I really wouldn't know where or how since I
avoid it like the plague on the rare occasions I use base to mock up a UI.
