The Values property is a string for rich text items, an array of doubles for number and time-date items, and an array of strings for all other data types including plain text. For a single value in a non-rich text item, access element 0. If the item contains multiple values, access each array element, for example, in a Forall loop. Access a rich text item as a simple value, not an array.
The Text property of NotesItem displays the complete Values array with the display separator, typically the semicolon, between elements. This property converts non-text data types to text.
