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.
