The same equation without the parantheses is as follows:
6*4+2 = 26
Here 6 is multiplied by 4 then added to 2.
Work from the innermost set of parantheses to the outermost set in equations
using multiple sets of parantheses.
For example,
((4+2)*(4+2)+1) = 37
Here the addition in the innermost parantheses is performed first,then the two
sums are multiplied and added to 1.

Parantheses can also be used to call functions such a squares, square root, max,
min, etc. For example,
sqrt(100) = 10
the function (square root) is performed on the number in the parantheses
(100).
Brackets [ ]
Use brackets to recall previously measured features for a formula. For example,
[Circle 1]x
recalls the 'x' value of Circle 1.
A more complex equation might be
sqr([Circle 1]radius)*PI
Here the radius of Circle 1 is squared and multiplied by pi which produces the
area of Circle 1.
Quote marks ""
Use quote marks to indicate an output in a formula. For example,
If([Circle 1]radius<=2.0,"Small")
prints the word "Small" in the column if the radius of Circle 1 is less than or
equal to 2.0.
A more complex equation might be
If([Circle 1]radius<=2.0,"Small","Big")
