The Caption field lets you give the custom field a name that is meaningful to you and is shown to the left of the field in the calculator.

The expression field determines what is shown in the custom field. You should use the replacement marker %x% in your expression to represent the calculator's results.

The custom expression can be any macro-compilable expression.
