### 4. Insert required formula
- Can use column names in equation
- Can use explicit numberical values/ strings as needed
- You can reference column names in equation with `$`, e.g. `$column_name$`.
- You can use explicit numerical values/ strings as needed, e.g. `123` (numeric) or `"123"` (string).
- Table below lists supported formula & associated syntax
- Nested formula (formula equation referring to another formula column) are not supported
- Nested formula (formula equation referring to another formula column) is supported

Logical operators, along with Numerical operators can be used to build conditional `expressions`.
Examples:
```bash
IF(marksSecured > 80, "GradeA", "GradeB")
