Abstract
Formulas can be written to analyze, compare, concatenate, condense, convert, expand, format, parse, replace, or summarize any of FileMaker’s supported data types. They can range in size from a simple mathematical equation to an extremely complex collection of interrelated expressions and nested logical clauses. The only limitation is that a single formula cannot exceed FileMaker's limit of 30,000 characters.
