Appendix C: Crystal Report Functions

Overview

As you've learned in this book, functions are predefined formulas that perform some sort of calculation. Functions perform these calculations using specific values, also known as arguments. An argument can be a number, text, a logical value (such as TRUE or FALSE), a formula, or another function. Arguments can also be constants or arrays.

Note

A constant is a numeric or text value that you type directly into a cell or formula or is represented by a name.

An array is used to build a formula that produces multiple results. Arrays are also used to build formulas that operate on a group of arguments arranged in rows and columns.
