Tried to remember which Format() gives me a GUID without braces for the 7th time this month… so I made a quick AL Format() cheatsheet 🧠💡

This is a very quick cheatsheet for all the different formats that you get out of AL using the Format() function with various format options.

I am surprised how few views there are for the "OnlyBCFans" in YouTube. Just finished listening to a fascinating interview with Freddy Kristiansen.
If you are a Business Central developer, I encourage you to go to YouTube to listen to their videos.
