PerfectApps ® Help Guide

PerfectApps supports a wide range of functions in the Formula Editor. To load the Formula Editor, you must have an input object selected in the App Designer. In the Properties panel select Formula as the value then click Compose. To add a function in the Formula Editor, click the Add Function button at the bottom of the dialog.

 

When you select a function, you will see an entry in the main box of the editor. The example formula is made up of the following general components:

 

Function name (Sub-Text 2)

Parameters (Text, Start index, Length)

Values (shown as <empty>). These can be literal values, app field values or other special values.

 

Function Example

 

Table Column Calculations

Table Column Calculations

(3 min)

Column calculations within a table can be built to work with all data in a specific column. This would normally be to sum the data but there are other options too such as taking the maximum, minimum or average value from all data in a column.

 

For a complete list of functions available in the Formula Editor, see the Functions in the Formula Editor topic.
