Functions Handbook Web Combo - V8 & V9 Web
Just what you need to begin developing applications!
Of all our sets of books, this is the one we say you gotta have because you'll use both books over and over and over. Learn the basics with Alpha Five Made Easy and then keep the Functions Handbook nearby as you develop your application.
This combo contains:
- Alpha Five Made Easy, The Basics and More for V9 Platinum (and Standard) editions.
- Alpha Five Functions Handbook, Functions and Expressions Made Easy (V5 & later)
- Companion CD for each, with book in PDF format and sample databases for the exercises.
- Free Electronic Download Editions for each book. Be sure to check the box(es) in Free Download above.
You don't have to know code when you use Alpha Five, but you do need to write "expressions." Expressions are made up of "functions," so you'll need to know how to use these terms. The Help index has such a bewildering array that you are likely to be left in the dark as to which to use. Most of them don't apply to most people. We have included just what you need, in an organized format.

Alpha Five Functions Handbook
Functions and Expressions Made Easy
What's inside . . .
Ch 1: The Basics
Once understood, most common functions are easy to use. Expressions can define calculations or combine fields with text, always following a consistent format throughout the program.
Ch 2: Character Functions
From changing the case of a letter to creating expressions for importing data, character type functions can manipulate both simple and complex data.
Ch 3: Date and Time Functions
Dates can be formatted in a variety of styles. One date subtracted from another, results in the number of days between the two. You can also calculate the time worked by an employee or show the duration of time of sporting event.
Ch 4: Numeric Functions
From simple arithmetic to advanced calculations, numeric functions give superior results.
Ch 5: Functions for Filtering and Ordering Records
Whether locating a single record within tens of thousands or printing a monthly sales report, filtering is at the heart of your application design.
Ch 6: Summary and Report Functions
Totals, averages, counts and other summaries will have your reports telling the whole story for you and your clients.
Ch 7: Lookup Function
The Lookup function requires more documentation than other functions because the syntax can be hard to understand. After doing the exercise and reading the principles behind its setup, just use the worksheet at the end of the chapter and you'll easily add lookups to your application!
Many thanks to Frances Peake for her assistance with this chapter.
Ch 8: Table Information
You can return the name of the table, the record number and other information about fields and tables.
Ch 9: Master Chart
When you know the name of the function, come here for quick reference to the syntax.
