Numeric Operators

Operator	Sample	Description
`+`	`column1 + column2 + 2`	Addition of numeric values
`-`	`column1 - column2`	Subtraction of numeric values
`*`	`column1 * column2`	Multiplication of numeric values
`/`	`column1 / column2`	Division of numeric values

To change order of arithmetic operation, use round bracket parantheses ()
Example: (column1 + (column2 * column3) / (3 - column4 ))

String Functions

Name	Syntax	Sample	Output
CONCAT	`CONCAT(str1, [str2,...])`	`CONCAT(fName, ' ', lName)`	Concatenated string of input parameters
LEFT	`LEFT(str1, [str2,...])`	`LEFT(Column, 3)`	`n` characters from the beginning of input parameter
LEN	`LEN(str)`	`LEN(Title)`	Input parameter charachter length
LOWER	`LOWER(str)`	`LOWER(Title)`	Lower case converted string of input parameter
MID	`SUBTR(str, position, [count])`	`MID(Column, 3, 2)`	Alias for `SUBSTR`
REPEAT	`REPEAT(str, count)`	`REPEAT(Column, 2)`	Specified copies of the input parameter string concatenated together
REPLACE	`REPLACE(str, srchStr, rplcStr)`	`REPLACE(Column, 'int', 'num')`	String, after replacing all occurrences of `srchStr` with `rplcStr`
RIGHT	`RIGHT(str, count)`	`RIGHT(Column, 3)`	`n` characters from the end of input parameter
SEARCH	`SEARCH(str, srchStr)`	`SEARCH(Column, 'str')`	Index of `srchStr` specified if found, 0 otherwise
SUBSTR	`SUBTR(str, position, [count])`	`SUBSTR(Column, 3, 2)`	Substring of length 'count' of input string, from the postition specified
TRIM	`TRIM(str)`	`TRIM(Title)`	Remove trailing and leading whitespaces from input parameter
UPPER	`UPPER(str)`	`UPPER(Title)`	Upper case converted string of input parameter

Logical Operators

Operator	Sample	Description
`<`	`column1 < column2`	Less than
`>`	`column1 > column2`	Greater than
`<=`	`column1 <= column2`	Less than or equal to
`>=`	`column1 >= column2`	Greater than or equal to
`==`	`column1 == column2`	Equal to
`!=`	`column1 != column2`	Not equal to

Conditional Expressions

Name	Syntax	Sample	Output
IF	`IF(expr, successCase, [failCase])`	`IF(Column > 1, Value1, Value2)`	successCase if `expr` evaluates to TRUE, elseCase otherwise
SWITCH	`SWITCH(expr, [pattern, value, ..., default])`	`SWITCH(Column1, 1, 'One', 2, 'Two', '--')`	Switch case value based on `expr` output
AND	`AND(expr1, [expr2,...])`	`AND(Column > 2, Column < 10)`	TRUE if all `expr` evaluate to TRUE
OR	`OR(expr1, [expr2,...])`	`OR(Column > 2, Column < 10)`	TRUE if at least one `expr` evaluates to TRUE

Logical operators, along with Numerical operators can be used to build conditional expressions.

Example:
IF (marksSecured > 80, "GradeA", "GradeB")
SWITCH (quarterNumber,
1, 'Jan-Mar',
2, 'Apr-Jun',
3, 'Jul-Sep',
4, 'Oct-Dec',
'INVALID')
