Functions and Arguments in a Calculation
The Calculation Editor contains functions that can be inserted into the Calculation panel from the Functions
panel. When an insertion occurs, the function is represented by an identifier followed immediately by a
parenthetical representation of the expected argument or arguments. If multiple arguments are required,
their representatives are separated within the parenthesis using delimiters, such as commas or semicolons,
depending on the local language. The representative arguments are placeholders for an expected type of
data.

The types of arguments that can be passed to a function are:
•
Number
