FILEMAKER FUNCTIONS REFERENCE 23
Examples
A Contracts table has a portal showing bids submitted for each contract.
Min(Bids::Price) returns the lowest bid submitted for a contract.
In the following examples:
• Field1 contains two repetitions with values of 1 and 2.
• Field2 contains four repetitions with values of 5, 6, 7, and 8.
• Field3 contains 6.
Min(Field2) returns 5 when the calculation isn’t a repeating field.
Min(Field1;Field2;Field3) returns 1, 2, 7, 8 when the calculation is a repeating field.
Notes
• When a referenced field is a repeating field, the Min function returns the minimum value in
the first repetition field, then the minimum value in the second repetition field, and so on.
• Aggregate functions such as Min or Max use the data type of the first parameter to perform
all comparisons. For example, if the first parameter’s data type is text, all other parameters
are converted to text and then compared.
