The Recipe Builder allows you to use a keyword containing a string value in place of a string constant. For example, consider the following formula:
INDEX ("BEER"; "ALE"; #PRODUCT; "MEAD")
In this example the value of the keyword #PRODUCT is used in place a string constant.
You can also substitute a keyword with a numeric value for an actual number. For example:
INT(#BATCH)
This formula calculates the integer value of the current batch size.
