Each column name in the formula must be surrounded by spaces (eg ` PRICE ` not `PRICE`) so it is recognised as a column reference rather than part of a function name. Text inside quotes is left as-is. Each column name in the formula must be surrounded by spaces (eg ` PRICE ` not `PRICE`) so it is recognised as a column reference rather than part of a function name. For example, `=MATCH( PRICE )` resolves the column reference, but `=MATCH(PRICE)` does not - PRICE is left unrecognised and the formula will error rather than using the column's value. Text inside quotes is left as-is.

Formulas can reference three special values that are resolved at runtime: Formulas can reference three special values that are resolved at runtime:
* `DC.ROW_STATUS` - the current state of the row: `M` (Modified), `A` (Added), `D` (Deleted), or `U` (Unchanged). * `DC.ROW_STATUS` - the current state of the row: `M` (Modified), `A` (Added), `D` (Deleted), or `U` (Unchanged). A newly-added row is `A` from the moment it is created - there is no transient state before that.

The following additional features are necessary: The following additional features are under consideration:
* ~~Frontend Formulae~~ - **Delivered** in v7.13.0. See [Formula Rules](/dcc-validations/#formula-rules).
* Regex Rules - **Delivered**. See [Regex Rules](/dcc-validations/#regex-rules).
The above rules will apply only at frontend, and will be configurable in the MPE_VALIDATIONS table. The values will appear as part of the [editors/getdata](https://code.datacontroller.io/getdata_8sas_source.html) service response in the `dqrules` object.

### Frontend Formulae
Delivered in v7.13.0. Formula columns (HARDFORMULA / SOFTFORMULA) are computed live in the editor using HyperFormula, with variable-name references resolved to row-relative cell references. See [Formula Rules](/dcc-validations/#formula-rules).
### Regex Rules
Delivered. HARDREGEX (blocking) and SOFTREGEX (warning) rules validate cell values against a Perl-style regular expression. See [Regex Rules](/dcc-validations/#regex-rules).
