Hi,

Please find the following text from Report Builder Help.

-G.S

Formula column

A formula column performs a user-defined computation on another column(s) data, including placeholder columns.Formula colums should not be used to set the values for parameters.

Placeholder

A placeholder is a column for which you set the datatype and value in PL/SQL that you define.

You can set the value of a placeholder column in the following places:

01.The Before Report Trigger, if the placeholder is a report-level column

02.A report-level formula column, if the placeholder is a report-level column

03.A formula in the placeholder's group or a group below it (the value is set once for each record of the group)
