When you map items, you can use functions to create simple or complex formulas.

The functions available in Adobe Workfront Fusion are similar to functions in Excel and in some programming languages. They evaluate general logic, math, text, dates, and arrays. They let you perform conditional logic and transformations of item values, such as converting a text to uppercase, trimming text, converting a date into a different format, and more. For more information, see Map information from one module to another in Adobe Workfront Fusion.

Nesting functions

You can nest functions within each other.

Use Google Sheets functions

If Workfront Fusion does not feature a function you want to use, but it is featured by Google Sheets, you can use it by following these steps:

  1. In Google Sheets, create a new empty spreadsheet.

  2. In Workfront Fusion, open your scenario.

  3. Add the Google Sheets >Update a cell module to the scenario.

    For instructions on adding a module, see Add a module in a scenario in the article Create a scenario in Adobe Workfront Fusion.

  4. Configure the module:

    1. Choose the newly created spreadsheet in the Spreadsheet field.

    2. Insert your formula containing the Google Sheets function(s) into the Value field.

      You can use the output of preceding modules as usual.

  5. Insert the Google Sheets >Get a cell module to obtain the calculated result.

  6. Configure the module, using the same Cell ID that you used in step 4.
