# Intermediate Values

With version 17.01, intermediate values were also introduced in the HRB module. These significantly facilitate working with formulas. Previously, formulas were always entered directly at the locations where they were needed. However, a formula can be very long, which makes it unclear and can even reach the maximum character limit for the field. With intermediate values, a formula can be broken down and distributed across any number of lines. This makes the whole thing more comprehensible. In the field where the result of the formula is required, only the final variable of this formula from the intermediate values is then used.

You access the intermediate values directly in the tree of the HRB editor beneath the variables.
