With Formula Fields, you can easily make calculations between numeric, date, and time fields on a task. Automatically determine things like the cost of a new product order or scoring for a new lead.
Formula Fields allow you to calculate task and other Custom Fields using both simple and advanced formulas.
Imagine that you have an hours worked
Custom Field along with an hourly cost
Custom Field. With Formulas, you can multiply these together to get the total cost
or budget
!
Formula Fields are a type of Custom Field, so they are available along with all other Custom Fields.

Workspaces on our Free Forever Plan get 100 uses of Custom Fields to try out the feature
-
Workspaces on our Unlimited Plan and above have unlimited use of Custom Fields
-
Custom Fields can be hidden from guests
How do Formula Fields Work?
Formula Fields can be applied at any level of your Workspace hierarchy, but they are not transferable to other locations.
Formula options automatically calculate for the entire column. Editing a formula in one task edits the formula for the entire column.
Pro tip: Try using a Formula Field in List view to see how they are automatically calculated on all tasks!
Supported Fields
With over 70 different functions, formulas work with the following fields:
-
Number Custom Fields

Supported Advanced Functions
We support many of the common functions used in your favorite spreadsheet applications! Our functions can be broken down into four basic categories, Date & Time, Logic, Math, and Strings!
Note: Any variables surrounded by {}
in the following sections are optional variables and can be left out of a function without the function breaking.
Date & Time Functions
Below is a table of our simplest date & time functions. All inputs are date objects and all outputs are numbers, except for TODAY()
which has no inputs and simply outputs a date corresponding to the current day's date.
Syntax | Example | Expected Result |
DAY(date) | DAY('7/15/21') | 15 |
DAYS(end_date, start_date) | DAYS('7/15/21', '6/15/21') | 30 |
MONTH(date) | MONTH('7/15/21') | 7 |
TODAY() | TODAY() | Today |
YEAR(date) | YEAR('7/15/21') | 2021 |
Here are our more complex date & time functions:
DATE(year, month, day): This function takes three numbers then returns a date object corresponding to the numbers that were input.
Example: DATE(2021, 7, 15)
Expected Result: 7/15/21
EDATE(start_date, months): This function takes a date object (start_date) and a number (months) then returns a date representing a specified number of months before or after the start_date. Negative numbers will allow you to access months before the start_date.
Because this function returns a serial number rather than a date object, you will need to use the DATE() function to convert it to a date object.
Example: DATE(YEAR(EDATE('7/15/2021', -1)), MONTH(EDATE('7/15/2021', -1)), DAY(EDATE('7/15/2021', -1)))
Expected Result: 6/15/21
EOMONTH(start_date, months): This functions takes a date object (start_date)
and a number (months)
then returns a date representing the last day of a month which falls a specified number of months before or after the start_date
. Negative numbers will allow you to access months before the start_date
.
As this function returns a serial number rather than a date object, you will need to use the DATE()
function to convert it to a date object.
Example: DATE(YEAR(EOMONTH('7/15/21', 0)), MONTH(EOMONTH('7/15/21', 0)), DAY(EOMONTH('7/15/21', 0)))
Expected Result: 7/31/21
HOUR(time): This functions takes a date object that includes time then returns a number corresponding to the hour of the time that was input. The number result will be based on a 24 hour clock.
Example: HOUR('7/15/21 7:45:00 PM')
Expected Result: 19
MINUTE(time): This functions takes a date object that includes time then returns a number corresponding to the minute of the time that was input.
Example: MINUTE('7/15/21 7:45:00 PM')
Expected Result: 45
NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date, {holidays}): This function takes two date objects and an array of date objects then returns a number corresponding to the net working days between start_date
and end_date
, excluding weekends and any specified holidays.
Example: NETWORKDAYS('7/15/21', '7/22/21', ['7/19/21', '7/20/21'])
Expected Result: 4
WORKDAY(start_date, num_days, {holidays}): This function takes a date object, a number, and an array of date objects then returns a date object corresponding to the number of working days after start_date
, excluding weekends and any specified holidays.
Example: WORKDAY('7/15/21', 7, ['7/19/21', '7/20/21'])
Expected Result: 7/28/21
WEEKDAY(date, {type}): This function takes a date object and a number then returns a number representing the day of the week that the specified date lands on.
The type variable is a bit more complex. Here's a table displaying what each number means for this function:
type | Number returned |
1 or omitted | Numbers 1 (Sunday) through 7 (Saturday). |
2 | Numbers 1 (Monday) through 7 (Sunday). |
3 | Numbers 0 (Monday) through 6 (Sunday). |
11 | Numbers 1 (Monday) through 7 (Sunday). |
12 | Numbers 1 (Tuesday) through 7 (Monday). |
13 | Numbers 1 (Wednesday) through 7 (Tuesday). |
14 | Numbers 1 (Thursday) through 7 (Wednesday). |
15 | Numbers 1 (Friday) through 7 (Thursday). |
16 | Numbers 1 (Saturday) through 7 (Friday). |
17 | Numbers 1 (Sunday) through 7 (Saturday) |
Example: WEEKDAY('7/15/21', 2)
Expected Result: 4
WEEKNUM(date, {type}): This function takes a date object and a number then returns a number representing the week of the year that the specified date lands on.
The type variable is a bit more complex. Here's a table displaying what each number means for this function:
type | Week begins on |
1 or omitted | Sunday |
2 | Monday |
11 | Monday |
12 | Tuesday |
13 | Wednesday |
14 | Thursday |
15 | Friday |
16 | Saturday |
17 | Sunday |
21 | Monday* |
Example: WEEKNUM('7/15/21', 1)
Expected Result: 29
Type 21
follows the methodology specified by ISO 8601, which is commonly known as the European week numbering system. The week containing the first Thursday of the year is the first week of the year, and is numbered as week 1.
Logic Functions
Below is a table of the logic gates that ClickUp offers. All inputs and outputs are booleans (either true

if the two strings are identical. Otherwise, the function returns false
.

variable if the provided argument is logically true. Otherwise, the function returns the value_if_false
variable.

if the number is even. Otherwise, the function returns false
.

if a piece of the string matches the regular expression. Otherwise, the function returns false
.
Example: REGEXMATCH('Palo Alto', 'Alto')
Expected Result: true
SWITCH(expression, case1, value1, [default or case2, value2], {...}): This function tests an expression against a list of cases and returns the corresponding value of the first matching case, with an optional default value if nothing else is met.
Example: SWITCH(7, 9, 'Nine', 7, 'Seven')

Instead of decimals, use percentages in the formula. |
For example:
|
Color-code results. | Use a formula to color-code results with emojis. |
For example:
The following formula would achieve the intended result:
|
Add a percent sign. | Use the CONCATENATE function or &"%" to add a percent sign. |
There are two ways to add a percent sign:
Field names (Number 1 and Number 2 in this example) are case-sensitive. |
Round decimal places on results. |
Use the ROUND function to round results after using basic functions. |
For example, to add two Number Custom Fields and round the result to the hundredth decimal place, use the following formula:
