Function Output

Syntax

Returns the Absolute value of a

Number

ASCII value of a Character. Only

one Character it will define the

more than one Character.

Average of the Measure values.

Average function mostly useful

when you do average on a total

of table measures. Average

would provide the average

where total Measures divided

by no of rows of the table

Num Abs(number)

Returns the Table Name where

this Block Name function is

used.

Returns the Rounding decimal

place amount in the

conversion. Example,

EuroConvertFrom(1000;"FRF";1

) return 6559.60 whereas

without rounding this would be

6559.57, the difference is 0.03.

The difference amount 0.03

Factorial of an Integer.

Factorial of number is multiple

of all the integers from 1 to

number. If FACT(4) then it

would calculate 1*2*3*4= 24
