Difference between Sum (Sales) and =Sum (Sales) in a expression

[#1]

I have seen for some expressions Sum (Sales) and =Sum (Sales) in a demo dashboards.

What is the difference.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing ...

if you write expression in Charts you can write as Sum (Sales) and =Sum (Sales)

but if you want to write expression in text object you need to write like =Sum (Sales).

Thanks.

hi,

what prashant said is exactly right. Adding to that,

if you give =sum(sales) in chart title,numerical value for that expression will be displayed.

Hi,

There is no difference in Output if you are calling as Sum(Sales) and =Sum(Sales) in chart expression , but if you are calling this as variable than results varies

See below:
