Cap IQ Formula Help

Its been a while since I have used CapIQ and the guides are not helpful. I am trying to match the multiples on a report from an IB to see how they are calculating it; The standard EBITDA multiples are not matching.

Does anyone know the formula for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA multiples and also for looking up transaction multiples based on transaction ID?

This was the cheat sheet I found but is not helpful for what I am looking for (unless I am missing something....I have not slept in a while).

I have not been able to find any other useful resource and the formula builder does not work on my excel (the IT is out today).
