The Bank’s own words and formula

The plain words above are the Bank of England’s own, word for word, from its list of validations.

Show the formulaShow

The Bank of England's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

if ({t: OF25.03.01.07, c: 0020} + {t: OF25.03.01.07, c: 0030} >= 0) then {t: OF25.03.01.07, c: 0010} = exp(({t: OF25.03.01.07, c: 0020} + {t: OF25.03.01.07, c: 0030}), 1, 2) else true()

Where it applies, in the Bank's words (its scope):

scope({t: OF25.03.01.07, r:0010;0020;0030;0040;0050;0060;0070;0080;0090;0100;0110;0120;0130;0140;0150;0160;0170, f: banking, fv: banking_reporting})
