To create a calculated field, follow these steps:\n\n1. [Edit the data source](/looker/docs/studio/edit-a-data-source).\n2. Click **ADD A FIELD**.\n3. Select **Add calculated field.**\n4. Enter a **Name** value for this field:\n 1. This is the default name that appears in your reports. You can change this for individual charts by editing the name in the dimension and metric picker.\n 2. The field name must be unique.\n 3. You can't use a reserved keyword as the field name.\n5. Enter a value for **Formula** :\n\n 1. To select a dimension, metric, or function, start typing its name.\n 1. If you have multiple fields with similar names, or fields that duplicate part of a function name, for example, **Date** and **Date2**, type part of the name, and then scroll through the list and select the field that you want.\n 2. You can also click a field in the **Available Fields** list to add it to the formula editor.\n 2. On the bottom right, click **SAVE** (or **UPDATE** if you are editing an existing field).\n 3. Adjust the **Type** , **Aggregation** , and **Show As** options, as appropriate.\n\n Alternatively, you can create a calculated field in your data source from a report by following these steps:\n6. Create or [edit your report](/looker/docs/studio/edit-a-report).\n\n7. Click **Add a field**.\n\n8. Select **Add calculated field.**\n\n9. Enter a **Name** value for this field:\n\n 1. This is the default name that appears in your reports. You can change this for individual charts by editing the name in the dimension and metric picker.\n 2. The field name must be unique.\n 3.

Adjust the **Type** , **Aggregation** , and **Show As** options, as appropriate.\n\n\u003e Learn more about [what you can do with calculated fields](/looker/docs/studio/about-calculated-fields) and the difference between calculated fields that are [created in a data source versus chart-specific calculated fields](https://support-con/looker-studio/answer/6299685#data-source-vs-chart-specific-calculated-fields).\n\nEdit a calculated field in your data source\n-------------------------------------------\n\nCalculated fields appear in the data source with an **fx** symbol. To edit the formula, click **fx** next to the field name. This opens the formula editor, where you can adjust the field as needed.\n\nCreate a chart-specific calculated field\n----------------------------------------\n\nChart-specific calculated fields exist only in the chart in which you create them.\n\nTo create a chart-specific calculated field, follow these steps:\n\n1. Create or [edit your report](/looker/docs/studio/edit-a-report).\n\n2. [Add a new chart](/looker/docs/studio/add-charts-and-controls-to-your-report) or select an existing chart.\n\n3. In the **Setup** tab of the **Properties** panel, click **+ Add dimension** or **+** **Add metric**, depending on the kind of calculated field that you want to create.\n\n4. Click **+** **ADD FIELD**.\n\n5. Enter a field name.\n\n6. Enter your formula.\n\n \u003e You can use the same operators and functions as data source calculated fields. However, you can't reference other chart-specific calculated fields. You can use chart-specific calculated fields with [blended data](/looker/docs/studio/how-blends-work-in-looker-studio).\n7. Click **APPLY**.\n\n8. Adjust the **Type** , **Aggregation** , [**Display Format,**](/looker/docs/studio/format-fields-in-reports) and **Show As** options, as appropriate.\n\n| **Important:** Custom value formatting is chart-specific and cannot be applied when creating or editing calculated fields in your data source.\n\nEdit a chart-specific calculated field\n--------------------------------------\n\nChart-specific calculated fields appear in the **Setup** tab of the chart's **Properties** panel.\n\nWhen you hover your cursor over the field type next to the field name, an **fx** symbol will appear. To edit the formula, click **fx.** This brings up the formula editor, where you can adjust the field as needed.\n\nReuse a chart-specific calculated field\n---------------------------------------\n\nChart-specific calculated fields only exist in the chart in which you create them. You can't directly reuse chart-specific calculated field, or reference it in other calculated fields.\n\nHowever, you can copy a chart containing chart-specific calculated fields. The copy will contain any calculated fields defined in the original. You can then edit them as needed in the new chart.\n\nTroubleshoot calculated fields\n------------------------------\n\nIf there is an error in a calculated field formula, you'll see a warning message, and you won't be able to save the field. Here are a few reasons why a formula might be rejected:\n\nRelated resources\n-----------------\n\n- [Dimensions and metrics](/looker/docs/studio/model-your-data)\n- [Format fields in reports](/looker/docs/studio/format-fields-in-reports)\n- [Create a data source](/looker/docs/studio/add-data-to-a-report)\n- [About calculated fields](/looker/docs/studio/about-calculated-fields)\n- [Create a custom group](/looker/docs/studio/create-a-custom-group)\n- [Create a custom bin](/looker/docs/studio/create-a-custom-bin)"]]
