Calculation Functions

Calculations in calculated tags may become very complex and may consist of parts that are repeatedly reused in other calculated tags. Calculation functions allows to extract and hide these common parts and make them available via expression engine editor. Function code can be either another expression or may reference special .NET based libraries.
