Function Names
widthDescription
This function returns the number of characters in the longest row in the string. If the value provided is not a string, then it will be converted to a string first.
If the string contains no new line symbol, then the total number of characters is returned, like in function length [string function].
Attention: For numerals and dates with available string context, the string will be used.
Vectorization: This function supports vectorization in the 1st function parameter.
Instead of providing a single value, you can provide a set or even a nested set which contain multiple values.
The function will then process every value and its return value contains a corresponding set containing all results.
