Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "You can use the PREVGROUPVAL function to calculate values relative to a peer grouping."

A block of code is set as follows:

IF($User.City = "Napa", 0.0750, 
 IF($User.City = "Paso Robles", 0.0725, 
  IF($User.City = "Sutter Creek", 0.0725, 
   IF($User.City = "Los Olivos", 0.0750, 
    IF($User.City = "Livermore", 0.0875, null
    )
   )
  )
 )
)
