FAQ

What should I check if the VALUE function returns an error?

  2. Check whether the referenced content is text that can be converted into a number.
  3. If the issue continues, test with a small sample of data and then adjust the argument step by step.

Can I use VALUE together with other functions?

  1. Enter VALUE in a formula field to convert text into a number first.
  2. Use the converted result as an input for another function.
  3. Save the formula and confirm that the nested formula returns the expected result.

Will VALUE results update automatically after I change the source data?

  1. After the formula field is saved, the result appears in the current record.
  2. When related data changes, the result refreshes with the record.
  3. If it does not refresh, confirm that the table is loading normally and review the formula reference again.
