&

Concatenate text values into a single text value.

To concatenate static text, surround it with double quotation marks. To concatenate double quotation marks, you need to use a backslash (\) as an escape character.

Equivalent to CONCATENATE().

Name & " - " & Age

=> Jane - 28

"\""&{Product Name}&"\""

=> "GreatProduct"

ARRAYJOIN([item1, item2, item3], separator)

ARRAYJOIN(values, "; ") 

=> 1; 2; 3

CONCATENATE(text1, [text2, ...])

Joins together the text arguments into a single text value.

To concatenate static text, surround it with double quotation marks. To concatenate double quotation marks, you need to use a backslash (\) as an escape character.

Equivalent to use of the & operator.

CONCATENATE(Name," - ", Age)

=> Bob - 43

CONCATENATE("\"",{Product Name},"\"")

=> "GreatProduct"

ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT(component_string)

Replaces certain characters with encoded equivalents for use in constructing URLs or URIs. Does not encode the following characters: - _ . ~

ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Search Phrase})

=> chicken%20%26%20waffles

FIND(stringToFind, whereToSearch,[startFromPosition])

Finds an occurrence of stringToFind in whereToSearch string starting from an optional startFromPosition.(startFromPosition is 0 by default.) If no occurrence of stringToFind is found, the result will be 0.

Similar to SEARCH(), though SEARCH() returns empty rather than 0 if no occurrence of stringToFind is found.

FIND("fox", "quick brown fox")

=> 13

LEFT(string, howMany)

LEFT("quick brown fox", 5)

=> quick

LEN(string)

LEN("quick brown fox")

=> 15

LOWER(string)

LOWER("Hello!")

MID("quick brown fox", 6, 5)

REPLACE(string, start_character, number_of_characters, replacement)

Replaces the number of characters beginning with the start character with the replacement text.

(If you're looking for a way to find and replace all occurrences of old_text with new_text, see SUBSTITUTE().)

REPLACE("database", 2, 5, "o")

=> dose

REPT(string, number)

REPT("Hi! ", 3)

=> Hi! Hi! Hi!

RIGHT(string, howMany)

RIGHT("quick brown fox", 5)

=> n fox

SEARCH(stringToFind, whereToSearch,[startFromPosition])

Searches for an occurrence of stringToFind in whereToSearch string starting from an optional startFromPosition. (startFromPosition is 0 by default.) If no occurrence of stringToFind is found, the result will be empty.

Similar to FIND(), though FIND() returns 0 rather than empty if no occurrence of stringToFind is found.

SEARCH("World", "Hello World")

=> 7

SUBSTITUTE(string, old_text, new_text, [index])

Replaces occurrences of old_text with new_text.

You can optionally specify an index number (starting from 1) to replace just a specific occurrence of old_text. If no index number is specified, then all occurrences of old_text will be replaced.

(If you're looking for a way to replace characters in a string from a specified start point instead, see REPLACE().)

Converts the text string to a number.

Some exceptions apply—if the string contains certain mathematical operators(-,%) the result may not return as expected. In these scenarios we recommend using a combination of VALUE and REGEX_REPLACE to remove non-digit values from the string:

VALUE(REGEX_REPLACE(YOURSTRING, "\\D", ""))

VALUE("$1000")

=> 1000

DATEADD(Date, 10, 'days')

=> 10/9/2015 12:00am

DATESTR({Date})

=> 2015-11-12

Returns the difference between datetimes in specified units. The difference between datetimes is determined by subtracting [date2] from [date1]. This means that if [date2] is later than [date1], the resulting value will be negative. 

Default units are seconds. (See list of unit specifiers here.)

Note: The DATETIME_DIFF() formula will return whole integers for any unit specifier.

MINUTE(NOW())

MONTH({Completion date})

While similar to the TODAY() function, NOW() returns the current date AND time.

This function updates when the formula is recalculated, when a base is loaded, or otherwise roughly every 15 minutes when a base is open. If the base is closed, it will update approximately every hour only when the base has time-dependent automation triggers or actions, or sync dependencies.

The following examples demonstrate the return if you were to enter NOW() and TODAY() at the same time, 08/06/2020 8:03am formatted as GMT on a 12 hour clock:

You can toggle time formatting (GMT/Local, 12/24 hour) on the formatting tab
