ToWeekdayN(ToDate("6/21/2003")) returns 6/23/2003
ToWeekdayP (Date d) Date If the given date d is a weekday returns it, otherwise returns the previously occurring weekday. ToWeekdayP(ToDate("6/21/2003")) returns 6/20/2003
WeekdayAdd (Date d, Number n) Date Returns the date that is n weekdays past the given date d. n may be negative to move backward in time. WeekdayAdd([Start], [Duration]) returns the date that results if you add the value in the Duration field to the date in the Start field and count only weekdays.

WeekdayAdd(ToDate("6/20/2003"), 2) returns 6/24/2003

WeekdayAdd(ToDate("6/24/2003"), -2) returns 6/20/2003

If you have a date field named "Start Date" and that field has a value of 6/23/2003, then WeekdayAdd([Start Date], -2) returns 6/20/2003
WeekdaySub (Date d2, Date d1) Number Returns the number of weekdays in the interval starting with d1 and ending on the day before d2 (same as subtracting Dates, but the result is the number of weekdays instead of a Duration). It is the inverse of WeekdayAdd. WeekdaySub([Finish], [Start]) returns the number of weekdays between the dates in the Start and Finish fields.

WeekdaySub(ToDate("6/24/2003"), ToDate("6/20/2003") ) returns 2
WeekOfYear (Date d) Number Returns the number of weeks by which the given date d follows the first week of the year based on ISO standards. First day of week is a Monday. First week contains the first Thursday of January. WeekOfYear(ToDate("Aug 20, 2000")) returns 33
WeekOfYear(ToDate("Aug 20, 2000"), 1) returns 35

WorkDates  (2 Function records) 
WeekdayAdd (WorkDate d, Number n) WorkDate Returns the date obtained by adding n weekdays to the date d. The calculation includes the date d as one of the n days. For example, adding 2 days to 10/31/2003 which is a Friday will give you 11/03/2003 since it counts 10/31/2003 as 1 day and 11/03/2003 (a Monday) as the second day. WeekdayAdd([Start],5) returns the date 5 weekdays after the date in the Start field.

WeekdayAdd(ToWorkDate(ToDate("10/31/2003")), 2) returns 11/03/2003

WeekdayAdd([Field A], [Field B]) where Field A is a field of type WorkDate and Field B is a field of type Numeric. Assuming that the value of Field A is 10/31/2003 and the value of Field B is 2, the formula will return 11/03/2003
WorkdayAdd (WorkDate d, Numeric n) WorkDate Returns the date obtained by adding n days to the date d. The calculation includes the date d as one of the n days. For example, adding 2 days to 10/31/2003 which is a Friday will give you 11/01/2003 since it counts 10/31/2003 as 1 day and 11/01/2003 (a Saturday) as the second day. WorkdayAdd([Order Date],7) returns the date seven days after the value in the Order Date field.

WorkdayAdd(ToWorkDate(ToDate("10/31/2003")), 1) returns 10/31/2003 while WorkdayAdd(ToWorkDate(ToDate("10/31/2003")), 2) returns 11/01/2003

Round(-3.5) = -3
Round(-3.7) = -4
Round (Number x, Number y) Number Returns the multiple of y which is nearest to x. You may notice small discrepancies when you use this function with floating point numbers. For example, Round(37.785,0.01) returns 37.78 instead of 37.79. This is not a QuickBase-specific issue; the discrepancies happen because some floating point numbers cannot be represented exactly in the binary format required by computers and are instead approximated. Round(3.12345, .01) returns 3.12
Round(3.6, 2) returns 4
Round(-3.6, 2) returns -4

This function can also be used in the context of a Summary report where it will count the # of Non-null records for each grouping, if used to specify the field to check in a Calculated Column. Count ("", "abc", true, false, 53) returns 3

For the Summary Report example, a formula might look something like this:

Count([Field])

This might be used if the customer were trying to determine - within the Summary Report groups - how many of these records had a value in [Field]
Max (<any> x, <any> y, ...) <same type as x and y> This function can take 2 or more arguments of any data type, as long as they are all the same type.

Null Handling  (8 Function records) 
IsNull (<any> x) Boolean Null means that a field's value is undefined. In other words, no one has entered any data in that particular field. It's empty. Its value is null. The result of this function is true if x is null, otherwise false. The argument x may be of any data type (except text or boolean). IsNull([Start Date]) returns true if the field named Start Date is undefined or empty.
IsNull(3.4) returns false
Nz (Date x, Date y) Date This function returns x if x is not null. If it is null, it returns the alternate value y instead. Null means that a field's value is undefined. In other words, no one has entered any data in that particular field. It's empty. Its value is null. Nz([Actual Finish Date], [Estimated Finish Date]) returns the value in the Actual Finish Date field, if it exists. If the Actual Finish Date field is empty, this formula returns the date in the Estimated Finish Date field.
Nz (Date/Time x, Date/Time y) Date/Time This function returns x if x is not null. If it is null, it returns the alternate value y instead. Null means that a field's value is undefined. In other words, no one has entered any data in that particular field. It's empty. Its value is null. Nz([Timestamp of Request], [Date Created]) returns the value from the Timestamp of Request field, if it exists. If there is no value in that field, this formula returns the value from the Date Created field instead.
Nz (Duration d) Duration This function returns d if d is not null. If it is null, it returns a 0-length duration instead. An undefined or empty field is "null." Null values don't work in calculations, which is where the Nz() function comes in handy. When Nz() finds a null, it sees it as a zero. So, if you want to perform calculations on a field that may include a null, use the Nz function. Nz([Actual Duration]) + Nz([Actual Duration 1]) +  Nz([Actual Duration 2]) returns the totals of values in all these duration fields.
Nz (Duration x, Duration y) Duration This function returns x if x is not null. If it is null, it returns the alternate value y instead. Null means that a field's value is undefined. In other words, no one has entered any data in that particular field. It's empty. Its value is null. Nz([Length of Project], [Estimated Length of Project] returns the value in the Length of Project field, if it exists. If there is no value in the Length of Project field, this formula returns the value in the Estimated Length of Project field.
Nz (Number x) Number This function returns x if x is not null. If it is null, it returns 0 instead. An undefined or empty field is "null." Null values don't work in numeric calculations, which is where the Nz() function comes in handy. When Nz() finds a null, it sees it as a zero. So, if you want to perform calculations on a field that may include a null, use the Nz function. Nz(4) returns 4
Nz(0) returns 0
Nz(null) returns 0
Nz([Mon]) + Nz([Tues] + Nz([Wed]) + Nz([Thurs]) + Nz([Fri]) returns the total of all numbers found in these day of the week fields. If a field is empty, Nz() reads it as a zero.
Nz (Number x, Number y) Number This function returns x if x is not null. If it is null, it returns the alternate value y instead. Null means that a field's value is undefined. In other words, no one has entered any data in that particular field. It's empty. Its value is null. Nz(34, 100) returns 34
Nz(null, 100) returns 100
Nz([Final Sales Price], [Price Quote]) returns the value in the Final Sales Price field, if it exists. If Final Sales Price is empty (null), then this example returns the value in the Price Quote field.
Nz (TimeOfDay x, TimeOfDay y) TimeOfDay This function returns x if x is not null. If it is null, it returns the alternate value y instead. Null means that a field's value is undefined. In other words, no one has entered any data in that particular field. It's empty. Its value is null. Nz([Finish Time], [Closing Time]) returns the value in the Finish Time field, if it exists. If there is no value in the Finish Time field, this formula returns the value in the Closing Time field.
Special  (21 Function records) 
AppID () Text Returns a text value containing the database ID of the app. AppID() in this app returns "6ewwzuuj"
Case (<any> x, <any> val1, <any> result1, ..., <any> else-result) <same type as result1> Case() is a variation of the If() function. If you want to test many conditions against a single field, use the Case() function instead of the If() function. QuickBase evaluates the value x and compares it to each of the values that follow (val1 and so on) sequentially. If the value X matches any value, QuickBase returns the corresponding result which lives behind the comma following the matched value. If value x is not equal to any of the values, QuickBase returns the else-result at the end of the formula. The else-result is optional. If omitted, QuickBase assumes it's null (empty). The value x may be of any data type, but all of the values must be of the same type as x. Case([Grade], "A", 100, "B", 90, null)

This formula says: If the value in the Grade field is A, then return 100. If the value in the Grade field is B, then return 90. Otherwise, return nothing (null).
Dbid () Text Returns a Text value containing the database ID of a table. Dbid() in this database returns "6ewwzuuj"
GetFieldProperty (Number fid, Text prop) <Boolean, Text, or Number> Returns the value of the field property prop, in the field fid, in the current table.  The properties currently supported are "currencyFormat", "currencySymbol", "fieldType", "maxLength", "required", and "unique". GetFieldProperty(15,"required") returns true if field 15 in the current table is required, false if not.
If (Boolean condition1, <any> result1, ..., <any> else-result) <same type as result1> If condition1 is true, returns result1, otherwise returns else-result. You can include additional condition/result pairs before the final else-result (as in the first example). QuickBase evaluates the conditions in sequence until one is found to be true, and then the corresponding result is returned. The else-result is optional. If omitted, QuickBase assumes it's null (or empty - a blank). All conditions must be of type Boolean (return a true or a false). Results may be of any type, but they must all be the same type. If([Grade]="A", 100, [Grade]="B", 90)

This formula says: if the value in the Grade field is A, then return 100. If the value in the Grade field is B, then return 90.

IF([Order Complete]=TRUE, [Subtotal] + [Tax], null)

This formula says: If the Order Complete checkbox is on, then add the value in the subtotal field to the value in the tax field and display it. If not, then leave the field empty (or null).
Includes (UserList ul, UserList ul1,UserList ul2 ..) Boolean This function takes 2 or more list-user field types as arguments and returns true if the contents of all the the arguments together, except for the first, are included in the contents of first argument; false otherwise. Includes ([Assigned To] , [Manager], [Employee])

This will return true if all the users in the Manager field and Employee field are selected for Assigned To field.
IsUserEmail (Text x) Boolean Returns true if x is the email address of the current user. IsUserEmail("john_smith@example.com") would return true if John Smith were accessing the table containing the formula field.
ToUser (Text t) User Converts a user name or e-mail address to a user value. A "user" is an individual with whom you've shared your application. You'd translate something like an e-mail address into a user value so that QuickBase recognizes the user. When you do so, you can take advantage of user fields to design permissions and/or views. For example, show a user only those tasks that have been assigned to her. ToUser([Email Address]) takes the values in the Email Address field and returns their corresponding user values.
ToUser("jsmith") returns the user with the user name "jsmith".
ToUser("jsmith@example.com") returns the user possessing that e-mail address.  
ToUserList (User u ..) UserList

Concatenates the contents of one or more user type fields into a user list field type.

This field is of type List-User and has a limit of 20 entries. If the resulting value of this field in a record exceeds the maximum entries allowed the resulting value will be set to blank.

 ToUserList([Sales Manager], [Business Manager]) takes the values in the Sales Manager field and Business Manager field and returns the combined value into another field.

The ToUserList() formula can take Either all User fields or all UserList fields as arguments; not both. To combine a User field and a UserList field then you need convert the User field to a UserList field.
ToUserList([UserList field], ToUserList([User field]))

Associate Error:
Expecting user but found userlist
ToUserList (UserList ul ..) UserList

Concatenates the contents of one or more user type fields into a user list field type.

Or, include "LF" to return the full names with the last name first. UserListToNames([Volunteers], "LF"), returns "Smith, Michael; Jones, Nancy" where the Volunteers are the users Michael Smith and Nancy Jones.
UserRoles ("ID/Name/Empty") Multi-select Text Returns information about the current user’s role. Use in a Formula Multi-select Text field. UserRoles("ID") returns the role ID. UserRoles("Name") returns the role name. UserRoles(""), or empty, returns the role ID and name in the format ID/name.

Usage examples, based on the user role, include showing or hiding form elements, validating data, sending a webhook or email notification, or dynamic instructional text.
UserToEmail (User x) Text Returns the user's e-mail address. This function won't work for users who have hidden their e-mail address. UserToEmail([Last Modified By]) returns the email address of the QuickBase user who last modified a record.

Use this function to turn a user name into a full name. For example:

UserToName(ToUser("bboop")) might return "Betty Boop".
UserToName (User x, Text format) Text Returns a given user's full name. Specify text format by including "FF" to return the full name with the first name first. Or, include "LF" to return the full name with the last name first. UserToName([Record Owner], "LF"), returns "Smith, Michael" where the record owner is the user Michael Smith.
Binary Operators (act on multiple values)  (33 Function records) 
!= <any> x, <any> y Boolean Same as <>. Returns true if x is not equal to y, otherwise returns false. x and y must be the same type. As with most other functions, null argument values produce a null result, so it is not possible to test for null with this operator. To test for null, use IsNull() instead. (3 / 4 <> 0.75) returns false
& <any> u, <any> v Text Returns a text value that is the concatenation of u and v. Use this operator to link strings of characters together in a formula text field. If u or v is not a text value, QuickBase automatically inserts the function ToText() to convert the value to text before concatenating it. Does not support User or UserList. "abc" & "def" returns "abcdef"
"abc" & 5 returns "abc5"
[First Name] & " " & [Last Name] concatenates the values in the First Name and Last Name field with a space in between them.
