Understanding Available Mathematical Functions for Insights Reports

·May 15, 2025 02:28 PM·

when defining functions in an insights report, what actual mathematical functions are available for use in those definitions? I'm trying to do logarithms and exponentials, but so far I have had no luck, and I can't find any documentation on it, except this answer which ends up pointing to Custom Properties. But that's pretty clearly not right, is it?

Yeah, Vlad, afaik, the formulas in an insight itself (like A / B * 100) are very limited. Just basic math. Additional functions are only when creating custom properties.

right, functions in custom properties are way more functional 😄
