Example:  SubString("abcde"; 1) Result: bcde 
Example:  SubString("abcde"; 2; 1) Result: c
Example:  SubString(FirstName; 1; 1) Result: M

Lower(text) – converts text to lowercase.
Example:  Lower("The Table") Result: the table

Upper(text) – converts text to uppercase.
Example:  Upper("The Table") Result: THE TABLE

PadLeft(text; totalLength), PadLeft(text; totalLength; symbol) – right-aligns the characters in  text , padding with spaces or symbol on the left for a specified total length.
Example:  PadLeft("123"; 5; "0") Result: 00123

PadRight(text; length), PadRight(text; totalLength; symbol) – left-aligns the characters in  text , padding with spaces or symbol on the right for a specified total length.
Example:  PadRight("123"; 5; "0") Result: 12300

PlainText(text) - converts rich text to plain text, where text is any text value or text field.

Note: text value in formulas should be surrounded by quotation marks and the column name should be used without them.
