 While it is possible to calculate these manually, doing so was complex. The need for this calculation occurred often enough to warrant this specialized function. While it is possible to calculate these manually, doing so was complex.

 These are complex functions that perform many calculations and can return many different values from the calculation. If the calculation perform without any errors, the function returns True. If there are any errors (such as division by zero), the function returns False and the error message is returned as one of the variable properties. These are complex functions that perform many calculations and can return many different values from the calculation.

 The values calculated by the layout function will be written into the "property bag" for the variable specified as the first function parameter. These values can then be accessed by name using the GetVariablePropertyValue() or GetVariablePropertyText() function. The values calculated by the layout function will be written into the "property bag" for the variable specified as the first function parameter.
