Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles 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 solve this issue by using the RangeSum function."

A block of code is set as follows:

sum({$<
Type = {'Online Sales'}, Category = {'Books'}
Year = {$(=year(today())-1)}>}
Sales)

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "If you are dealing with a few items, you can keep the legend and use Values on Data Points to be more specific."
