Feature Request: FOR() and STRLENGTH() functions

A for function is a basic staple of logic-related functions. Having the ability to cleanly and quickly iterate through a piece of data would be incredibly beneficial, and allow for incredibly vast ways of displaying data.

A strlength function, or a function that returns the length of a string, would be incredibly useful. This would certainly allow for greater customization/styling of string appearances, and would support a number of logic-based decisions.

    Hi Dan -

    We have two functions which act similar to FOR(), these are MAP() and MAPFLAT(). Each takes an array of data, iterates through each item and uses that in a function.

    https://support.klipfolio.com/hc/en-us/articles/216182487-MAP-function

     

    MAPFLAT() is new and extends functionality of MAP().

     

    Have you tried either of these functions before?

     

    Thanks

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks again for raising your needs here.  Did you have a chance to look at MAP and MAPFLAT?  I'd like to understand your specific use case further if these are not meeting your needs.

    Thanks again,

    Scott.

    Hi Dan,

    In case you had not yet seen it, we recently released a LENGTH function to count the number of characters in a string.

    Cheers,

    Scott.
