    Hi,

    The EXP operation evaluates E<sup>x</sup>, where E is Euler’s number (approximately 2.7183), and X is the parameter passed to the operation.

    Your equation has a little issue, the correct would be:

    fieldname4*(1+fieldname3)*exp(fieldname2)

    Best regards.

    Hi

    This is not working.

    I want to calculate this:
    Total end capital= capital now*(1+Interest rate)^(time period)

    You understand what i mean?

    Example:

    In math 7^4= 2401

    I want to calculate: (capital now)^capital now*(1+Interest rate)

    (fieldname4)^fieldname2*(1+fieldname3)

    Hi,

    The operation you are needing is the “POW” operation:

    7^4 is represented as: POW(7,4)

    So, fieldname4^fieldname2 is represented as: POW(fieldname4,fieldname2)

    Best regards.

    Thank you very much this will work.

    I have another question about the POW function.

    Can this pow function do complicated mathematical formulas?

    I need to calculate this:

    PMT * [ ( ( 1 + i )^N – 1 ) / i ]

    I doesn’t work when i put it in a calculate field like this:

    (((POW(1+fieldname1,fieldname4)-1)/fieldname1)*fieldname2)

    So my question is: how can i calculate this right?
    ( 1 + i )^N

    Hi,

    The structure of your equation is fine:

    (((POW(1+fieldname1,fieldname4)-1)/fieldname1)*fieldname2)

    But be careful with the field values, if the value of fieldname1 field is zero, the equation will generate a mathematical error ( x/0 = error )

    In this case you should use conditional operations like follow:

    IF(fieldname1 != 0,(((POW(1+fieldname1,fieldname4)-1)/fieldname1)*fieldname2), ” )

    Best regards.
