🧮 Why Formulas? 🤔
Ever wish your data could do more than just sit there? SmartSuite formulas are your secret weapon! They can pull data from different places, make calculations, and even update automatically. 🤯
➕➖✖➗ Mastering the Basics: Math Made Easy
Imagine this: you need to calculate invoice totals. Instead of pulling out a calculator, let SmartSuite do the heavy lifting! 💪
💰 Example: Invoice Total
Let’s say your hourly rate is stored in a field called “Hourly Rate” and the number of hours worked is in a field called “Total Hours.” Here’s the formula magic:
{Hourly Rate} * {Total Hours}
This simple formula multiplies the values in those fields, giving you the instant invoice total. 🤯
💡 Pro Tip:
Use the dot notation! For example, {Contact.Hourly Rate} pulls the hourly rate from a linked contact record.
🔤 Concatenate: Your Text-Combining Wizard
Tired of manually combining text fields? Concatenate to the rescue! 🦸♀️
📄 Example: Creating Dynamic Invoice Titles
Say goodbye to boring, generic titles! Use this formula to create clear, informative invoice titles:
CONCATENATE("Invoice - ", {Contact.First Name}, " ", {Contact.Last Name}, " - ", {Due Date})
This combines the words “Invoice -“, the client’s first and last names, the word “-“, and the due date into one seamless title. ✨
💡 Pro Tip:
Use spaces! Notice the spaces within the quotation marks? They ensure the words in your final text are properly separated.
➕ Sum Function: Adding Up the Big Picture
When you need to add values from multiple linked records, the SUM function is your go-to!
⏱️ Example: Calculating Total Time Across Projects
Let’s say you track time for different tasks within a project. To calculate the total time spent on a project, use this formula:
SUM({Linked Table.Time Spent})
This formula adds up all the values in the “Time Spent” field from the linked table, giving you the total project time. 📈
💡 Pro Tip:
Remember to use the correct field names from your linked table!
