How-to Guide

1. Create a formula field and use SQRT

Entry path: Add Field → Formula

  1. Open the target multidimensional table.
  2. Click Add Field on the toolbar.
  3. Select Formula as the field type.
  4. Enter a formula that includes SQRT in the formula editor.
  5. Click Confirm and check whether the result appears in the new field.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: A new formula field appears and shows a calculation result.
  • Next action available: You can continue editing the formula or change source data for testing.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not choose the Formula field type, you cannot enter a function formula.
  • Environment note: If table permissions are limited, adding a new field may not be available.

2. Check the syntax format

Entry path: Formula Editor → Function List → SQRT

  1. Open the formula editor in the multidimensional table.
  2. Go to the function list or function library.
  3. Select SQRT to review its description.
  4. Confirm the input format shown in the interface before entering the formula.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: You can see the SQRT function name and its syntax format.
  • Next action available: You can continue entering or revising the formula.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: An incomplete syntax pattern may prevent the formula from passing validation.
  • Environment note: The function list location can vary slightly across interface layouts.

3. Write and verify an example

Entry path: Formula Field → Formula Editor

  1. Select an existing formula field.
  2. Enter an example such as SQRT(target value) in the formula editor.
  3. Save the formula and review the result in the current record.
  4. Change the source data and confirm that the result updates.
  5. If needed, combine SQRT with other functions for more complex logic.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: The formula field shows a square root result.
  • Next action available: The result refreshes after source data changes.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Referencing non-numeric content can cause an error or prevent calculation.
  • Environment note: For nested formulas, it is helpful to test each part step by step.
