How do I "square" a formula
This is the excel formula which includes to square the equation and then multiply (last 2 functions). This is an invalid operation in Smartsheet (^)... how can I make this work?
=IF(ISBLANK([Operator Height]@row), "", IF([Operator Height]@row = 0, 0, IF([Operator Repeat]@row = 0, 0, [Operator Height]@row / [32/64]@row / [Operator Repeat]@row) ^ 2 * 246744))

Hi @Elizabeth Aird,
You may need to just do the function X function by typing it out twice instead of using ^2.

Yes. You will need to do
function * function
as Smartsheet does not support the ^ operator.

Hi... Smartsheet does support the "^" to use instead of "sqrt" ...
For example, I needed the square root of 16.26 so I typed in the formula "=TPI@row / ([Yarn Count]@row ^ 0.5)" and it worked.
Try it.
ps. Would be easier if Smartsheet Team adds the sqrt function instead.

I had a same question, and found the easy answer. I would like to share it with the team...
So if I want to do a square, for e.g. =9^2, the answer will be 81... and if I want to do square root of 81, then formula will be... =81^(1/2) and result will be 9... same would apply for cube or cube root.
Square root is inverse of Square, so I simply inversed the ^ (raised to), and got the square root. Hope it helps!
