Built-in function syntax
Each FormCalc function uses a specific syntax notation that you must follow in order for the function to execute correctly. The table below describes, very generally, the pieces of syntax notation.
 
Syntax notation
Replacement values
d
A valid date string (for example, 03/15/1996)
f
A valid date format string (for example, MM/DD/YYYY)
k
A valid locale identifier (for example, fr_FR)
n
A valid numeric value. Note that the range of valid values varies from function to function.
s
A valid unit of measurement (for example, “in” for inches).
v
A valid reference syntax.
n1, n2, n3
All values are required.
[ [ n [, k ] ] ]
No values are required, but you can choose to specify just n, or both n and k.
n1 [, n2 ... ]
n1 is required, but you can choose to specify an unlimited number of additional values.
d [, f [, k ] ]
d is required, but you can choose to also specify f or both f and k.
