Function Reference

Liberty Reports provides an array of functions that can be used in your Excel formulas to return information from your database or to serve other purposes in the design of a report. These functions can be used like other Excel functions that you may already be familiar with (such as SUM, IF, or VLOOKUP).

The more commonly used functions can be inserted into your worksheet using the Function Wizard. The less commonly used functions can be inserted using the fx button on the Excel toolbar or by typing the function with the correct syntax and set of arguments.
