The power function can be used in custom filters and table calculations to raise a number to the power of a given exponent.

Syntax

power(base, exponent)

The power function evaluates a base by raising it to the power of a given exponent.

Examples

The power function can be used to raise a number to the power of another number. For example, 2³ would be written as:

power(2, 3)

Typically, the power function is used with a field reference or an expression. For example:

power(${order_item.standard_deviation_profit}, 2)

Things to know

The power function can also be used to take the nth root of a number by using 1/n as the exponent. For example, the cube root (the 3rd root) of 7 would be:

power(7, 1/3)

For a square root (the 2nd root) just use the sqrt function.
