# Other Calculation Functions

There are other functions that can help you create complicated calculations.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Exponentiation (  X^2 )" %}
Exponentiation is a **mathematical operation** where a number (called the **base**) is multiplied by itself a certain number of times. Formula -> **COLUMN\_NAME \*\* EXPONENT**

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Square Root ( √ ) " %}
The **square root of a number** is that factor of a number which when multiplied by itself gives the original number. Formula -> **RESULT = COLUMN\_NAME \*\* (1/2)**

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Brackets ()" %}
These define the order in which operations are carried out based on **PEMDAS** or **BODMAS.** Illustrated below are the differences in the calculation **column + 10 \* 5** and **(column + 10) \* 5**

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="ABS (Absolute)" %}
This function is already well explained in [Absolute Function](/supertables/guides/setting-up-calculations/absolute-function.md)
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Round " %}
This function rounds off the result to the nearest whole number.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/supertables/guides/setting-up-calculations/other-calculation-functions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
