-This function can take from 2 to 6 values as arguments.
-  coalesce(value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6)
 \\
 =====Arguments=====
 ^Argument^Type^Description^
-|valueN|Any|A value tested to determine whether it represents an //empty value// or not.|
+|method  | Text |The decoding method to use on //text//.  See the table below.  |
+|text  |Text |The text string to be decoded.  |
-**Return value type:** Any (The type of the returned, non-empty value.)
+**Return value type:** Text.
 \\
-=====Remarks=====
+^Method  ^Notes  ^
-To use the function with more than 6 arguments, nest function calls. Keep in mind that arguments are evaluated before a function is evaluated.
+|'uriComponentEscape' |Unescapes a URI, and then converts any plus characters ("+") into spaces. |
+|'Base64' |
-If all arguments are empty values, an empty value is returned.
+|'Base64url' | Base64 in URL encoding |
 \\
 =====Examples=====
-  coalesce(empty(), 'ABC', '')  //Returns 'ABC'
+  decode("uriComponentEscape", "one%2Bone")  //Returns 'one+one'
-  coalesce(empty(), '', 'ABC')  //Returns '' (Empty text value but not an empty value.)
-  coalesce(empty(),empty())  //Returns an empty value  (All arguments are empty values.)
-  coalesce(empty(), coalesce('ABC',empty()) ,'XYZ')  //Returns 'ABC'  (Nested functions)
