Formula Functions
About the Formula Functions
Formula functions are logical and programmatic functions, used with fields and operators to build Formula Expressions in any of the following platform elements:
- Computed Fields in Reports
- Custom Access Criteria
- Default Field Values
- Formula Fields
- Layout Rules
- Macros#Visibility Criteria
- Rules#Execution Criteria
- Rule Actions to add or update a record
- Validation Criteria
Conventions
The following conventions are used in these functions:
Element Description 'string' Strings must be enclosed with single quotes 'dString' Date strings must be enclosed with single quotes int An integer,for example, a number representing the number of days (or months or years) value An argument in date- and date/time-related Formula Functions, which defines a unit of time [ ,optional] Optional values are shown in brackets, as [ ,option1, option2]
Date Functions
See Date for details about these Day, Date and Time-related formula functions:
Logical Functions

Aggregate Functions
The Aggregate Functions are not available in every context, because of their potential impact on performance. They let you select a collection of records in an arbitrary object and perform a summary calculation on those records.
(For most purposes, a Rollup Summary Field tends to be more useful, as it lets you define a summary calculation for a set of related records--for example, to sum the line items in an order.)
