| Function | Argument | Description |
|---|---|---|
| POWER | (Value or Field, power) | Returns a number by a chosen power. Static numbers can be typed in or other fields can be referenced (if they are numeric fields). Powers must be integers. |
| SQRT | (Value or Field) | Returns the square root of a number or chosen numeric field. |
| MIN | (Value1, Value2,…) | Returns the smallest number from a list of numbers. |
| MAX | (Value1, Value2,…) | Return the largest number from a list of numbers. |
| AVG | (Value1, Value2,…) | Returns the average of a list of numbers. |
| SUM | (Value1, Value2,…) | Returns the sum of a list of numbers. |
| ROUND | (Value, Optional: Precision) | Rounds a number. If no Precision is entered the default behavior will be rounding to the nearest integer - ROUND(4.5) = 5, ROUND(4.44456) = 4. If you want rounding to second digit after the decimal separator, include the optional precision argument. For example, ROUND(4.44456, 2) = 4.44. |
| ROUNDTOEVEN | (Value) | Rounds a number to closest even value - ROUNDTOEVEN(5.4999) = 4, ROUNDTOEVEN(5.500001) = 6 |
| ROUNDTOTEN | (Value) | Rounds a number to the nearest 10. |
| HASVALUE | (Field) | Returns "true" if the selected field has value and "false" if there is no value. |
| CONTAIN | (Field, Value) | Use this function to evaluate selected items in a pick list or multi-select field. For example, CONTAIN(PickList, "Pass"). If you want you fields to be visible when two options are selected(available only in Multilist) you can combine two CONTAIN function, or any other: CONTAIN(MultiList, "Option 1") AND CONTAIN(MultiList, "Option 2") OR CONTAIN(MultiList, "Option 3") Every possible logical operators can be applied and if you want to change the priority just add parenthesis where necessary: CONTAIN(MultiList, "Option 1") AND (CONTAIN(MultiList, "Option 2") OR CONTAIN(MultiList, "Option 3")) |
| IF | (Condition, ThenValue, Optional: ElseValue) | Use the If / Then / Else function to conditionally evaluate data conditions and perform various calculations based on that data condition. For example, If(Result1 > 10, "Success", "Fail"). The Else value is optional and if you skip it and the condition is not satisfied no value will be assigned to field - If(Result1 > 10, "Success"). |
| Tip |
|---|
Text references in the expression builder often require double quotation marks around the text string. For example: If you want a field to show up based on another field that is a Yes/No field type when Yes is selected, and the name of the Yes/No field is named, Is this activity complete?. The resulting expression would appear as: Is this activity complete="yes" To get this result, using the Expression Builder, you would first choose the dependent field from Available Fields. Next, select the = sign from the middle area. Finally, type the dependent value surrounded in quotations. |
Error Checking
If a formula is incorrect, the expression builder has some validation built into it to alert you of of any bad syntax.
