My formula is better as it preserves the UpperCamelCase of the documentation and is easier to read. Many aspects of QuickBase are case insensitive but your formulas and URL actions are more readable when using the appropriate case.
Wikipedia on CamelCase
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase - QuickBaseCoachDQrew CaptainBut when you save the formula, QuickBase fixes the CapiTalization of the formula fUnctions and the field names, so yes, I was just being lazy knowing it would clean up my sloppiness.
But I do agree that sometimes when you are comparing to some text field = " A text String" or a Contains function, I have not totally nailed down when the Case matters. - _anomDiebolt_Qrew Elite>But when you save ...
Maybe true but it also applies to the "actions" and formulas. I would stay away from these variants and use consistent capitalization:
?a=TD
?act=api_editrecord
DBID() - KrissyKrissyQrew CadetWhat field type do I use for this formula? Formula Text, Formula Date, Formula Date/Time, etc.?

- Jay_DDS_Qrew CadetIs there a way to show only the time, and not the date, in this scenario?
- QuickBaseCoachDQrew CaptainIf you have a date/time field, there are field properties which allow you to control the display format, including if you want to display the time at all..
- Jay_DDS_Qrew CadetRight...but is there a way to ONLY show the time, not the date. Here's the scenario. I'm designing a registration system for my office, for visitors that come in to our lobby. I'm using the Date Created field as the field to determine the time that the visitor arrived, but I don't need to see the date on the table report, just the time. Make sense? It's early for a Monday. :) Thanks for the help!
- QuickBaseCoachDQrew CaptainThe easiest way is to make a new formula field of type "Time Of Day" with the formula
ToTimeOfDay([my date / time field])
