Summary functions
Summary functions produce a summary of all records in the found set, or subsummary
values for records in different groups. Formulas can contain more than one summary
function. Summary functions calculate more slowly than other functions because they
generate values for a range of records.
An alternate way to generate similar calculated results is to use Aggregate functions to
summarize data in related records (whether or not they appear in a portal). See chapter 2,
“Aggregate functions” and information about summarizing data in portals.
