We will add some basic formula to our cube. Open the default workview by clicking on open next to our cube in the Model page.

We will add a formula to calculate **$ - Thousands**. Right click on the highlighted cell and select **Edit Formula** to open the editor.

Enter the formula **\["$"]/1000** and click **Save Formula**.
