OK. Here’s the thing, I looked at the same information that you had, and I
provided some explanations for your questions based on that information, so
obviously something clicked for me that didn’t for you. It would be a help if
you could try to figure out how the wiki could be better written so

Since the email explanations date from 2005, I don’t think this will be added

David & Stan,
From my experimentation, I think your descriptions are correct.
Exponents aren’t supported. (yet)
All formulas must be simple, but nesting/precedence parenthesis are allowed.
While you can’t calculate using other splits or transactions as
references/variables, you *can* use varia
Stan,
I will preface this by repeating that I don’t use formulas or SX, so my advice
may be corrected by others. Addressing your questions in reverse order.
With regard to exponentiation, I note that the Bank Account Interest section
shows the expt (exponent) function (which comes from the und
Stan,
I neither use formulas nor scheduled transactions, so I can’t comment on the
documentation. Since you do, maybe you could add some information on the wiki

rewrite of the userguide in progress.If there is a bug there is less chance
of it being missed.

Though I have 2.6.19, I looked on line at the 3.2 manuals, and they are
the same in this respect.
There doesn't seem to be any documentation of formulas for scheduled
transactions. I'm talking about the "debit formula" and "credit formula"
