    Formula Functions

    Here is a list of available functions for use within the estimating item formulas:

    Function - Pi Description Returns a value of 3.1415926535897932385. Example Pi * Sqr([Diameter] / 2) This example could be used for finding the area of a circle.

    Function - Sqr(Number)

    Description Returns a number squared.

    Parameters Number This is a numeric value to be squared.

    Example Sqr(2) will return 4 Sqr(4) will return 16 Sqr(5) will return 25

    Function - Sqrt(Number) Description Returns the square root of a number. Parameters

    1/5

    Number This is a numeric value to find the square root value of. Example Sqrt(25) will return 5 Sqrt(64) will return 8 Sqrt(144) will return 12

    Function - Exp(Number) Description Returns e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to a power.

    Parameters Number This is a numeric value to be raised to e. Example Exp(1) will return 2.72 Exp(2) will return 7.39 Exp(3) will return 20.09

    Function - Round(Expression) Description Returns a number of the value rounded to the nearest whole number. If X is exactly halfway between two whole numbers (X.5), the result is always the even number. This method of rounding is often called "Bankers Rounding".

    Parameters Expression This is a value to be rounded.

    2/5

    Example 0.5 will round to 0 0.75 will round to 1 1.5 will round to 2

    Function - Ceil(Expression) Description Returns a number of the value rounded up to the nearest whole number. This method of rounding is often called "Round Up" Parameters Expression This is a value to round up to the nearest whole number. Example Ceil(1.3) will round to 1 Ceil(1.5) will round to 2 Ceil(2.1) will round to 3

    Function - Max(Expression1, Expression2) Description Returns the greater of two numeric values.

    Parameters Expression1 This is a value to be used in the evaluation of finding which value is larger. Expression2 This is a value to be used in the evaluation of finding which value is larger.

    Example Max(2, 4) will return 4 Max(10, 5) will return 10

    Function - Min(Expression1, Expression2)

    Description

    3/5

    Returns the lesser of two numeric values. Parameters Expression1 This is a value to be used in the evaluation of finding which value is smaller. Expression2 This is a value to be used in the evaluation of finding which value is smaller.

    Example Min(2, 4) will return 2 Min(10, 5) will return 5
