Description:

Increase your techno-sexual quotient with this handy function for your PEOPLE database. I use this as a calculation field in FM 6. Not sure if this is official 7 linguistics or not but it works and people like it when you know their sign without any effort.

This is my Custom Function and I want to edit it
