Operators and values  


 

4D View Pro supports five types of data. For each data type, specific literal values and operators are supported.

1.2
1.2 E3
1.2E-3
10.3x
+ (addition)
- (subtraction)
* (multiplication)
/ (division)
^ (exponent, the number of times to multiply a number by itself)
% (percentage -- divide the number before the operator by one hundred)
Date10/24/2017
+ (date + number of days -> date)
+ (date + time -> date + time of day)
- (date - number of days -> date)
- (date - date -> number of days between the two)
Time10:12:10Duration operators:
+ (addition)
- (subtraction)
* (duration * number -> duration)
/ (duration / number -> duration)
String'Sophie' or "Sophie"

The following operators can be used with two operands of the same type:

OperatorComparison

When two or more different operands have the same name, 4D View Pro determines the type of each element according to the following order:

PriorityElement type
1Cell reference
2Cell name
34D View Pro function
4Project method
54D command
