FMP similar to Excel formulas?

[Aragorn]

Are MS Excel formulas similar to those in FMP? I would like to create a gradebook but can't find any good sites with FMP formula help. And of course I cannot find a book in my area on FMP..

I will probably only need avg, sum, weights (assignments worth a certain percentage of final grade)...I have a book on Excel formulas and I wanted to know if the symbols mean the same in FMP (I know +, -, and = mean the same but what about &, *, etc?

Thx

Start by reading the FileMaker manual or use the online help.

In the online help, type operators in the Index search box, and it will provide a listing of the different types of operators available. Double Click on any of the types and it will open a box that lists the operators for that type, and give you a descriptions.
