🆕 The Math Column now [supports many more functions](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/math-column#supported-calculations) such as TRUNC, ASIN, COS, ROUND & MOD. 🧮 We, therefore, did the sensible thing and rounded down all the birthdates in our employee directory so everyone’s much younger! 👶 😉

Fab work @JackVaughan . Thanks. Are you also planing on DAY, MONTH and YEAR to split out components of a DATE column? That would also be amazing and timely.

Yeah for MOD!!! Now we can do rankings natively in Glide!

Sorry, I only know a few of those nominations…
Can anyone translate them for those who also don’t know?

Sure. I’m guessing:
TRUNC - truncates to a specific number of digits
ASIN - inverse sine (trigonometric function for engineering etc)
COS - cosine (per ASIN)
ROUND - rounds to a specific number of digits (as opposed to truncating)
MOD - gives the remainder of a division

Ahh man, but it was so much fun to try to figure out how to accomplish TRUNC functionality in glide with less than 10 columns. 😉 Guess we’ll do it the easy way now. And no more templates to “lock in” rounding with ROUND. I also currently use CEILING in my sheet, so that can be converted.

Great work team!!
@JackVaughan can you specify each of those nominations in Glide Library’s page as I asked here? I think it’s important to have it.

Gr. I can’t find it now. I had the formula bookmarked. I’ll try to find it and share.

@V88… sure! @Mark has just told me he has added them and will release on Thursday. 😉

Awesome! Looking forward to what you guys build with this, since I actually didn’t pass my college math tests and had someone do then for me, so I’ve no idea what all of this formulas mean! 🤣 😂
