Previous Function - Help

Newbie question. I have searched the posts and have found a few that say the
previous function works. The documentation in the online books is a little
sketchy. Does someone have a detailed example? If not, could someone point
me to more detailed documentation on this function?
Thanks,
RickThe documentation about the Previous() function is actually incorrect
because it describes multiple parameters. The Previous function only has one
argument which is an expression and you can use Previous() only in a list or
a table.
Example:
=Previous(Fields!A.Value)
-- Robert
