Detail

CALC and CALCULATE currently can't handle parameters that happen to have parenthesis or commas as part of the string. For example, $SUBSTITUTE(Good morning, morning, day) works as expected, but $SUBSTITUTE(Good, fun morning, morning, day) does not, assuming the string is "Good, fun morning".

This feature adds quoted text to avoid these "gotchas". Text enclosed in three single quotes is considered a string. Problematic characters (comma, opening and closing parenthesis) are escaped, and the quotes are removed. The escaped characters are restored at the end of the function evaluation.

  • Test: %CALCULATE{$SUBSTITUTE('''Good, fun morning''', morning, day)}%
  • Expected: Good, fun day
  • Actual: Good, fun day
