In this example, we want to retrieve the cumulative product of the education-num attribute.

Add a new attribute, then type the following formula: cumProd($"education-num")

Rulex Platform attributes' memory supports numbers till 5 billion of billions (namely, 5.000.000.000.000.000.000). If the cumProd value exceeds this amount, then negative values or not logical values are returned.
