Lists and drop-down lists both store two discrete types of information:
•Captions - This is the text that is in the list itself.
•Values - Each list entry has a value that is stored in the database. This can be a numeric value or text. If you want to analyze a value with statistical functions such as Sum, Average etc., then you should use numbers only.
The Formula and Condition Editor can reference the caption and value of a list but only the caption is visible to the app user..
