Understanding Functions

Quattro Pro has more than 500 built-in functions that cover a wide variety of calculations. Not only do the functions save you time in creating formulas from scratch, but they also allow you to perform calculations that would be almost impossible to create. You will find a complete list of formulas in the Help Index.
