Honeycode Functions

Simplify formula writing

Think of a function as a kind of built-in formula. Honeycode supports many common functions you may be familiar with. But, you'll also find some new ones that are totally unique to Honeycode.

To make formula writing even simpler, Honeycode provides suggestions as you type. This feature works anywhere you'd enter a formula, just activate it by typing the = sign.
