Question on formulas

I have a questions on formulas.Suppose I have an app formula that outputs a text. Now, in a component/page I need the result of the app formula in several places. So, I would not want to call the app formula in every place but just get the output in one place and refer to it. My solution is to build a component formula, use the app formula there, and get the result. The formula has an two variables as inputs.I dont know whether what I am doing makes sense, i.e. whether is is the same thing as calling the app formula.anyone has any idea how to solve this? thanks

If you just need to share the logic (and no variables, API etc) the use a global formula.
If you also need to share data the. You can create a formula at a component higher up in the tree and share it through context

@Andreas Møller it is simply an email validation and it returns a text (e.g. email does not contain upper case letter, or empty if it is correct).
I need this for the styling of the label, showing the message, etc. so I would ideally check it once and not run the formula everywhere I need it.

so you suggest to simply use a global formula and run it everywhere where it is needed? thanks
