Available functions
Calculated questions can use more than simple arithmetic operators. The following functions are allowed in versions 1.5 and newer.
Note: you can use formulas and wildcards inside these functions. The wildcards are denoted in curly braces {}.
| Function | Explanation | Usage/Syntax |
|---|---|---|
| abs | Absolute value | |
| acos | Arc cosine -- output in radians. | |
| acosh | Inverse hyperbolic cosine -- output in radians. | |
| asin | Arc sine -- output in radians. | |
| asinh | Inverse hyperbolic sine.-- output in radians. | |
| atan2 | Arc tangent of two variables -- pass in two values like (y, x), and you'll get the atan(y/x), adjusted to the proper quadrant. (Note: The variables are in the reverse order to atan2(x,y) in Excel) Output is radians. | |
| atan | Arc tangent -- output in radians. | |
| atanh | Inverse hyperbolic tangent-- output in radians. | |
| bindec | Binary to decimal | |
| ceil | Round fractions up to a whole number | ceil({a}) |
| cos | Cosine -- in radians!!! Convert your degree measurement to radians before you take the cos of it. | |
| cosh | Hyperbolic cosine -- in radians!!! Convert your degree measurement to radians before you take the cosh of it. | |
| decbin | Decimal to binary | |
| decoct | Decimal to octal | |
| deg2rad | Converts the number in degrees to the radian equivalent | |
| exp | Calculates the exponent of e | |
| expm1 | Returns exp(number) - 1, computed in a way that is accurate even when the value of number is close to zero | |
| floor | Round fractions down to a whole number | floor([value]) ex. floor({x}/{y}) |
| fmod | Returns the floating-point modulus of two numbers - i.e. the remainder when the first is divided by the second. | |
| is_finite | Finds whether a value is a legal finite number | |
| is_infinite | Finds whether a value is infinite | |
| is_nan | Finds whether a value is not a number | |
| log10 | Base-10 logarithm | |
| log1p | Returns log(1 + number), computed in a way that is accurate even when the value of number is close to zero | |
| log | Natural logarithm (ln) | |
| max | Find highest value | |
| min | Find lowest value | |
| octdec | Octal to decimal | |
| pi | Get value of pi - the function does not take an argument, like in Excel. | pi() |
| pow | Exponential expression or number raised to the power | pow([number to raise], [power]) ex.pow({x},{y}) |
| rad2deg | Converts the radian number to the equivalent number in degrees | |
| rand | Generate a random integer | |
| round | Rounds a float to a specified number of decimal places; if you need an amount rounded to the nearest 100, divide your number by 100, round to 0 decimals, then multiply by 100 | round([amount],[number of decimal places]) ex. ROUND({a},3) |
| sin | Sine -- in radians!!! Convert your degree measurement to radians before you take the sin of it. | |
| sinh | Hyperbolic sine -- in radians!!! Convert your degree measurement to radians before you take the sinh of it. | |
| sqrt | Square root | |
| tan | Tangent -- in radians!!! Convert your degree measurement to radians before you take the tan of it. | |
| tanh | Hyperbolic tangent -- in radians!!! Convert your degree measurement to radians before you take the tanh of it. |
