## Adding formula column
### 1. Click on '+' (Add column)
### 2. Populate column Name
### 3. Select column Type as 'Formula'
### 4. Insert required formula
- Can use column names in equation
- Can use explicit numberical values/ strings as needed
- Table below lists supported formula & associated syntax
- Nested formula (formula equation referring to another formula column) are not supported
### 5. Click on 'Save'

### Numeric Operators
| Operator | Sample | Description |
| -------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `+` | `column1 + column2 + 2` | Addition of numeric values |
| `-` | `column1 - column2` | Subtraction of numeric values |
| `*` | `column1 * column2` | Multiplication of numeric values |
| `/` | `column1 / column2` | Division of numeric values |
> To change order of arithmetic operation, use round bracket parantheses `()`
> Example: `(column1 + (column2 * column3) / (3 - column4 ))`
### String Functions
| Name | Syntax | Sample | Output |
|-------------|----------------------------------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **CONCAT** | `CONCAT(str1, [str2,...])` | `CONCAT(fName, ' ', lName)` | Concatenated string of input parameters |
| **LEFT** | `LEFT(str1, [str2,...])` | `LEFT(Column, 3)` | `n` characters from the beginning of input parameter |
| **LEN** | `LEN(str)` | `LEN(Title)` | Input parameter character length |
| **LOWER** | `LOWER(str)` | `LOWER(Title)` | Lower case converted string of input parameter |
| **MID** | `SUBTR(str, position, [count])` | `MID(Column, 3, 2)` | Alias for `SUBSTR` |
| **REPEAT** | `REPEAT(str, count)` | `REPEAT(Column, 2)` | Specified copies of the input parameter string concatenated together |
| **REPLACE** | `REPLACE(str, srchStr, rplcStr)` | `REPLACE(Column, 'int', 'num')` | String, after replacing all occurrences of `srchStr` with `rplcStr` |
| **RIGHT** | `RIGHT(str, count)` | `RIGHT(Column, 3)` | `n` characters from the end of input parameter |
| **SEARCH** | `SEARCH(str, srchStr)` | `SEARCH(Column, 'str')` | Index of `srchStr` specified if found, 0 otherwise |
| **SUBSTR** | `SUBTR(str, position, [count])` | `SUBSTR(Column, 3, 2)` | Substring of length 'count' of input string, from the postition specified |
| **TRIM** | `TRIM(str)` | `TRIM(Title)` | Remove trailing and leading whitespaces from input parameter |
| **UPPER** | `UPPER(str)` | `UPPER(Title)` | Upper case converted string of input parameter |

### Date Functions
| Name | Syntax | Sample | Output |
|-------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **DATEADD** | `DATEADD(DATE_COL, 1, 'day')` | `DATEADD(date, 1, 'day')` | Supposing the DATE_COL is 2022-03-14. The result is 2022-03-15. |
| | `DATEADD(DATE_TIME_COL, 2, 'month')` | `DATEADD(datetime, 2, 'month')` | Supposing the DATE_COL is 2022-03-14 03:14. The result is 2022-05-14 03:14. |
| | `IF(NOW() < DATE_COL, "true", "false")` | `IF(NOW() < date, "true", "false")` | If current date is less than DATE_COL, it returns true. Otherwise, it returns false. |
| | `IF(NOW() < DATEADD(DATE_COL,10,'day'), "true", "false")` | `IF(NOW() < DATEADD(date,10,'day'), "true", "false")` | If the current date is less than DATE_COL plus 10 days, it returns true. Otherwise, it returns false. |
### Logical Operators
| Operator | Sample | Description |

### Conditional Expressions
| Name | Syntax | Sample | Output |
|------------|------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| **IF** | `IF(expr, successCase, [failCase])` | `IF(Column > 1, Value1, Value2)` | successCase if `expr` evaluates to TRUE, elseCase otherwise |
| **SWITCH** | `SWITCH(expr, [pattern, value, ..., default])` | `SWITCH(Column1, 1, 'One', 2, 'Two', '--')` | Switch case value based on `expr` output |
| **AND** | `AND(expr1, [expr2,...])` | `AND(Column > 2, Column < 10)` | TRUE if all `expr` evaluate to TRUE |
| **OR** | `OR(expr1, [expr2,...])` | `OR(Column > 2, Column < 10)` | TRUE if at least one `expr` evaluates to TRUE |
Logical operators, along with Numerical operators can be used to build conditional `expressions` .
Examples:
```bash
IF(marksSecured > 80, "GradeA", "GradeB")
```
```bash
SWITCH(quarterNumber,
1, 'Jan-Mar',
2, 'Apr-Jun',
3, 'Jul-Sep',
4, 'Oct-Dec',
'INVALID'
)
```
