Examples |
---|---|---|---|
abs |
abs(number) |
Returns the absolute value of the given data |
For example: abs(-7) = 7 abs(col['sales']) |
acos |
acos(number) |
Returns the inverse cosine function value of the parameter. The parameter range is [-1, 1]. An error will be reported if it is not in the domain |

asin |
asin(number) |
Returns the arcsine function value of the parameter. The parameter range is [-1, 1]. An error will be reported if it is not in the domain |
For example: asin(1) = 1.570796326795 asin(col['angle']) |
atan |
atan(number) |
Returns the arctangent function value of the argument. |
For example: atan(0) = 0 atan(col['angle']) |
atan2 |
atan2(number x, number y) |
