Saving formula creates value, but doesn't save formula itself

[Former user]

If I try to save a formula, it creates a value in "variables". This is not good. Saving formula is better. I.e. I want to calculate the permanent electricity costs of my vacuum cleaner for one day, so I can save some variables like this:

#!

PowerConsumptionInKilowatts=0.5
DayInHours=24
ElectricityCostsInCentPerKilowatthour=0.2585 (living in Germany is very expensive!)

Now I wanna save a formula:

#!

ElecCostsVacCleanerPerDay=PowerConsumptionInKilowatts*DayInHours*ElectricityCostsInCentPerKilowatthour

That formula will be saved in variables and works fine. But if I change my PowerConsumptionInKilowatts after that to 0.6, there is no change in the formula.

I searched in the web for a calculator that saves formulas. But I didn't find one. I want to use this in a calc, because I need this type of function often and don't want to open a spreadsheet the whole time.

Variables are actually constants which are evaluated once and never change. For what you want, you need to define a user function instead for ElecCostsVacCleanerPerDay (note the syntax):

#!

PowerConsumptionInKilowatts=0.5
= 0,5

DayInHours=24
= 24

ElectricityCostsInCentPerKilowatthour=0.2585
= 0,2585

ElecCostsVacCleanerPerDay()=PowerConsumptionInKilowatts*DayInHours*ElectricityCostsInCentPerKilowatthour

ElecCostsVacCleanerPerDay()
= 3,102

PowerConsumptionInKilowatts=0.6
= 0,6

ElecCostsVacCleanerPerDay()
= 3,7224

Thx Bro, was my fault! :)
