Binary Operators (act on multiple values) != <any> x, <any> y Boolean Same as <>. Returns true if x is not equal to y, otherwise returns false. x and y must be the same type. As with most other functions, null argument values produce a null result, so it is not possible to test for null with this operator. To test for null, use IsNull() instead.

"abc" & "def" returns "abcdef"
"abc" & 5 returns "abc5"

Special Case (<any> x, <any> val1, <any> result1, ..., <any> else-result) <same type as result1> Case() is a variation of the If() function. If you want to test many conditions against a single field, use the Case() function instead of the If() function. QuickBase evaluates the value x and compares it to each of the values that follow (val1 and so on) sequentially. If the value X matches any value, QuickBase returns the corresponding result which lives behind the comma following the matched value. If value x is not equal to any of the values, QuickBase returns the else-result at the end of the formula. The else-result is optional. If omitted, QuickBase assumes it's null (empty). The value x may be of any data type, but all of the values must be of the same type as x. Case([Grade], "A", 100, "B", 90, null)

This formula says: If the value in the Grade field is A, then return 100. If the value in the Grade field is B, then return 90. Otherwise, return nothing (null).
