Re: Calculated column in analytic view - To get the value for power of a variable that is (Variable) to the power of (1/x)

Hi Thiru, Muthuram, Ganapathy,

After an analysis with few customers data with SALES_0 and SALES_3 (Excel), it is observed the suggestion provided before is working as per the requirement (Thanks all!) i.e., the operator ^ and **, but I should make use of decimal part of 1/x. Example: 0.25 of 1/4.

The error screenshot which I shared before is due to specific case only as shown in the screenshot.

And the details are as shown below:

When the SALES_3 is negative then the power of 0.25 is giving an error, as a basic mathematics issue that is root of any negative number is an imaginary. This was causing an error!!

So, I am thinking to restrict SALES_0 and SALES_3 greater than zero then perform the CAGR operation, else mark it as Zero.

Thanks Everyone.. It helped a lot!!
