Financing
You can show the formula behind each financing amount instead of its result, and you know when the button and the keyboard shortcut work.
In Financing, the **Amount** column shows the result of each source and installment. To see what each **Amount** cell contains, a typed number or a formula, click  in the toolbar. Click it again to see the results. When you point at the button, KOSMA shows:
Switch value/expression display
While the formula view is on, the button appears pressed. KOSMA does not save the view: each time you open Financing or the project again, the grid shows the results.
A typed amount and an amount calculated from a formula look the same in the values view. The formula view shows which of the two each source holds.
The formula view helps in three cases:
- You take over a plan from someone else: you see which amounts are fixed figures and which KOSMA calculates from a formula. - You copied a plan onto another budget: you see which amounts come from a formula. For what the copy changes, see [relink a plan to another budget](/kb/article/relink-a-plan-to-another-budget). - You want to write a new formula: you read how an existing source is calculated.
To write a formula, see [write a source amount formula](/kb/article/write-a-source-amount-formula). For formulas that use figures from the budget, see [reference the budget in a source amount](/kb/article/reference-the-budget-in-a-source-amount).
Only the **Amount** column changes. A source or installment with a formula shows the formula, for example `NPC * 0.2`, `ACCOUNT("3.01")` or `SUM_TAG_F("regional")`. A typed amount shows as a plain number without thousands separators or currency, for example `350000` instead of 350,000.00 EUR. An installment shows its saved amount the same way. If you entered the installment as a percentage, this is the amount KOSMA calculated from it, with all its decimals. A subtotal shows its name in both views.
KOSMA changes only what the grid displays. It recalculates nothing and saves nothing. **Total**, **Received** and the two share columns stay the same.
You can also switch with ⌘E on a Mac or Ctrl+E on Windows. If you cannot edit the plan, the shortcut does nothing. This is the case, for example, when your licence does not cover Financing, when the plan is shared with you read-only, or when you work signed out on a plan stored only on your computer. The button  still works in these cases.
Budgeting has the same button with a view of its own. When you switch in Financing, the view in Budgeting stays as it is. For the button in Budgeting, see [switch between values and formulas](/kb/article/switch-between-values-and-formulas). Cost Control and Cash Flow have no such button.
