    <title>topic Minimal functions available for expressions in Product Forum</title>
    <link>https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Minimal-functions-available-for-expressions/m-p/54326#M8866</link>
    <description>Why are there so few functions available for use in Expressions, specifically with Number functions? I'm looking for a simple&amp;nbsp;Max() function to just return the max of 2 numbers for use in an expression and this is not an option. Is there any way to import or create new functions for use in Expressions?</description>

      <description>If the data source is a column in a collection, you can use Linq to run aggregate SQL queries against the DataTable, such as max(). If you're only working with two numbers though, it should be fairly simple with a decision stage to see which is larger.
[Decision][x]&amp;gt;[y]?
Yes -&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;[Calculation]In: [x]; Out: [Value]
No -&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;[Calculation]In: [y]; Out: [Value]</description>

      <description>I was hoping to be able to use a Max function inside of a longer expression, but I guess I could create a new stage and variable to perform that calculation prior to the expression...that's just not ideal.</description>
