Function performs a
specific operation on some values that you specify and generates a new
value. To compose a function, you need to type the function name,
followed by a set of parentheses().
The Zoho CRM formula type custom field supports four different functions:
- Numeric Functions
- String Functions
- DateTime Functions
- Boolean (Logical) Functions
Numeric Functions
A numeric function in formula fields is used to work with
numeric data types and accepts numeric results. Numeric functions are generally used to display
the results of typical mathematical calculations. The numeric values
(arguments) can be integers or decimals, positive or negative. For
instance, the formula can use number values as 10, -12, +52, etc.

String Functions
A
String is a specialized set of characters (that can contain spaces and
numbers) or a contiguous sequence of symbols or values enclosed within
quotes so as to be differentiated from a number or a variable
name. A string function is used to manipulate or edit the
contents of a string.

DateTime Functions
DateTime
functions are used in working with time and date types such as
identifying the day of the week for a given date. You can use these
functions when you need the values to contain both date and time
information in a specified format. For instance, the formula can return
a value as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM.

Boolean Functions
A
boolean function determines the value output based on the logical
calculation of the inputs. In other words, a boolean function
evaluates the truth or falsity of each element of its domain. It
confirms to entities having just two values: 1 or 0, true or false, etc. along with the operations and, or and not.
