Is it possible to use a php varible instead of null here "->setFormatter( Format::ifEmpty( null ) )"

Hi
What I want is to set a standard value when creating a new post in DataTables. I know that I could just write this value here:
->setFormatter( Format::ifEmpty( 1924 ) )
but I want the standard value to be editable in my page for standards or defaults. So I have a PHP varible called $faktor, that I want the setFormatter to take insted of null. Is that possible?
->setFormatter( Format::ifEmpty( $faktor) ) doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Best regards
Claus

Yes, it is called a custom setFormatter. You can do anything with it ...

Here is an example:

Field::inst( 'contract.type' )
    ->setFormatter( function($val, $data, $opts) {
        if ($data['contract']['instrument']  >= 'Y') {
            return '';
        } else {
            return $val;
        }
    }),
