![Formula](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/86527202/144246227-42c44df6-7e3e-4b2c-9bb9-a3c213bcad20.png)

### 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'
