Critical Values Functions

[FileMaker Magazine]

Working with simple lists of values is one of the most fundamental aspects of building software. FileMaker, like any other development environment, often requires working with lists of values, whether it's a global field used as a relationship key or multiple selections made from a checkbox widget.

In this video, I'll present a number of custom functions that provide common and practical operations for handling lists of values. These functions can be copied and pasted directly into your FileMaker solution, offering a wide range of benefits.

Functions covered in this video:

• ValueExists
• ValuePosition
• ValuesExtract
• ValuesNotInList
• ValuesWalk
• ValuesWrap
• ValueToggle

We'll walk through each function and discuss how it's most commonly used within a FileMaker solution. Whether you've worked extensively with lists or only sparingly, these functions may change the way you approach handling values in your projects.
