 +==== Notes ====
 +  * The entire formula needs to be wrapped in **%< >%** to be computed as a function. Otherwise it's just text string.
 +
 +  * Detail scale returns a mix of numbers and text so we need to convert it to a decimal number first. "float" tells python to convert the text into a floating point number. Once that happens you can use math functions on it.
 +     * <nowiki>%<'{:.3f}'.format( <> * float(DetailScale("GUID","Noformatting")) )>%</nowiki>
 +
 +     * If you dont care about formatting the number of places after the decimal point then you can drop the '{:.3f}'.format .
 +
 +  * The "Noformatting" isn't parsed, so it's the same as just putting ""
 +     * %< <> * float(DetailScale("GUID","")) >%
