Available functions are: max, absolute, length, and date. Place functions on the right-hand side of the expression. For example:
abs(3)=max(3,5)
This example is not valid, because the function abs (absolute) is to the left of the equal sign (=).
Another example:
5=max(5,5)
This example is valid, because the function, max, is to the right of the equal sign (=).
