SQRT
Category: Math & numeric
Overview
| Description | Returns the square root of each value in the input. Use when you need the square root of positive values for scaling, normalization, or mathematical transformations. |
| Syntax | SQRT('Node') |
| Parameter | Node: Input node, specified using the node name in single quotes (e.g. 'Profit'). |
Function alternative
Use POWER for other roots.
Examples
Square root of positive input values
This example shows the square root computed for a node with simple positive values. Each result is the square root of the corresponding input value.
Input node: A
| Year | Value |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 4 |
| 2026 | 9 |
| 2027 | 25 |
Formula: SQRT('A')
| Year | → SQRT Result |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 2 |
| 2026 | 3 |
| 2027 | 5 |
