# Calculated results

Life Sciences Quality Control & Assurance allows users to define mathematical formulas to calculate test results based on the result value of other tests. The calculation formula can be defined for the [](/life-sciences/docs/calculated-results)[test method](/life-sciences/docs/test-methods), and it is inher-ited in the test group (where it can be edited if needed).

For example, a mathematical formula can be used when a result obtained from the laboratory must be converted (e.g., to a different unit of measure). The automatic calculation reduces the risk linked to a manual entry and manual calculation.

#### Example

A quality order is available with the following tests:

- Test “Potency”.
- Test “Potency%” with **Calculation formula** set as “@Potency@/10*4”.

The user enters the result for the test “Potency”. Then, for the test “Potency%”, the user can click the **Calculate test result** button, and the result is automatically calculated as follows:

- “Potency” result: “190” (manually entered)
- “Potency%” result: “76” (calculated).

If multiple results are entered for the “Potency” test, the system uses the value in the Average field to calculate the “Potency%” result. The **Average** field is defined according to the test [**Evaluation method**](/life-sciences/docs/evaluation-method).
