Hi guys, sorry for my dumb question (playing with glide only since 4 days…) but this thing drive me crazy: I have a complex formula from excel whoch work on excel and on google sheet…but I think the syntax is different on Glide… Here is the formula:

=1-(0,9144^EXP((12,344*LN(A2)+11,853*LN(B2)-2,664*LN(A2)*LN(B2)-7,99*LN(C2)+1,769*LN(A2)*LN(C2)+1,764*LN(D2)+7,837*E2-1,795*LN(A2)*E2+0,658*F2)-61,18))

I have this error:

I put your code in a code block above so it displays correctly in the forum. Some characters were being excluded.

This works in a javascript column. Since the javascript column can only accept 3 parameters, we have to join all input values together into one p1 parameter and split it out in the code. You will have to do that with a template column. Then you can pass the template column into a javascript column as a p1 parameter. You could have maybe done it with an excel column, but that column is one parameter short, so it would have been a lot of extra work to get the extra parameter included. Javascript is a bit easier to follow than an Excel formula.

Here is the code:

let param = p1.split('|');
let A2 = parseFloat(param[0]);
let B2 = parseFloat(param[1]);
let C2 = parseFloat(param[2]);
let D2 = parseFloat(param[3]);
let E2 = parseFloat(param[4]);
let F2 = parseFloat(param[5]);

let result = 1 - Math.pow(0.9144, Math.exp((12.344 * Math.log(A2) + 11.853 * Math.log(B2) - 2.664 * Math.log(A2) * Math.log(B2) - 7.99 * Math.log(C2) + 1.769 * Math.log(A2) * Math.log(C2) + 1.764 * Math.log(D2) + 7.837 * E2 - 1.795 * Math.log(A2) * E2 + 0.658 * F2) - 61.18));

return result;

Here is how I set up the javascript column. Just replace p1 with appropriate template column.

Notice that I’m using a Pipe (|) to separate each value. It’s safer than using commas because I assume your number inputs could have commas. The pipe is what you will use in your template column to separate each input value.

Awesome technique

I use a double pipe. Because one can never be too careful :joy:

We process a lot of pipe delimited data for work, so it’s habit for me. But yes, you can’t be too careful. I find comma delimited to be about the worst. Pipe is pretty safe. Double Pipe is almost Murphy’s law proof.

You don’t have to upgrade. The JavaScript column is available on all plans, including the Free Plan.
