Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I am using power automate to create 54 columns with calculations which include exponents, square roots, absolute values etc.?

 

How do I achieve the following in expressions?

  1. (body('Create_item')?['column1']))^2  (eg. 5^2 = 25)
  2. Abs((body('Create_item')?['column1']))   (eg. Abs(2) or Abs(-2) = 2)
  3. Sq.rt((body('Create_item')?['column1']))   (eg. Sq.rt(25) = 5)

 

Regards,

Aakash

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Unfortunately these functions are not available under Power Automate. The only way you could implement is host a http webservice/function where it can receive the numbers and return the relevant math function results. Use the HTTP action step in Power Automate to call the custom function/webservice.

     

    You could also add this as an idea under the idea forum.
