Usage Conventions

Operators
Substitute the appropriate field name where you see num and str in the
function examples. Parentheses are required where indicated. Below is
a list of conventions showing operator and function usage.
Operator
date date value: the expression must evaluate to a valid date
time time value: the expression must evaluate to a valid time
num number or numeric expression; num1, num2, and so forth indicate
additional number values
str text string: str1, str2, and so forth indicate additional string values
... additional repeating values of the given type may be entered
[ ] brackets inserted around field names
log exp logical expression
true exp true expression
false exp false expression
Operators represent mathematical, comparison, logical, and text
operations to be performed within a calculation. You must have an
operator between fields in a calculation.
For example, a calculation for a Total field might look like this:
[Price1] + [Price2] + [Price3]
The plus signs between the field names are the Addition operators in the
calculation.
The calculation could also look like this:
Sum([Price1],[Price2],[Price3])
The parentheses are the operators in the calculation. Commas, although
not operators, also separate the fields.
