Formulas are a powerful way to work with and discover new information about your data. We're constantly expanding Zenkit's formula abilities, so check here for updates. 

This feature makes it possible to combine the contents of fields (e.g. first and last names) or to combine texts and labels from references. The calculated texts/labels/numbers work like regular fields, so they can also be used for terms in filters, aggregation in dashboards or as grouping in Kanban. In addition, filters can now be applied within the formulas to include only certain references in the calculation.
Last but not least: The title field can now be occupied by a text formula.


To learn how to use formulas in your lists, please read the guide to formulas and aggregations

Numeric Operators

Numeric operators can use numbers from number fields, or references. 

OperatorDescriptionExample
+Add together two numbers. Uses number and reference fields.{Material Cost} + {Tool Cost}
-Subtract two values.Price - 5.50
*Multiply two values together.Time * {Cost per hour}
/Divide two values{Lifetime Value} / {Number of Invoices}


Numeric Functions

Numeric functions can use numbers, number fields and, in some cases, references in the formula. 

FunctionDescriptionExample
sqrt(number)Square root. Accepts one value as parameter and returns it's square root.sqrt(4)
abs(number)Absolute. Accepts one value and returns its absolute value.abs(-4) = 4
min(numer, number2)Minimum. Accepts one or more parameters or a reference, and returns the minimum of the given values.min(3,1) = 1
max(number, number2)Maximum. Accepts one or more parameters or a reference, and returns the maximum of the given values.max(3,1) = 3
exp or E(power)Exponent. Calculates e to the given power.E(1) = 2.72
powExponentiate. Takes as first parameter the base, then the exponent.pow(2,3) = 8
avg({reference list: number field})Average. Accepts a reference as a parameter and returns the average of all values.avg({Astronauts:Wage})
