# Write an expression
If your data source supports them, then Grafana displays the **Expression** button and shows any existing expressions in the query editor list.
For more information about expressions, refer to [About expressions]({{< relref "./about-expressions.md" >}}).
## Before you begin
- [Add a panel]({{< relref "../../working-with-panels/add-panel.md" >}}).
**To write an expression**:
1. Open the panel.
1. Below the query, click **Expression**.
1. In the **Operation** field, select the type of expression you want to write.
For more information about expression operations, refer to [About expressions]({{< relref "./about-expressions.md" >}}).
