Computes the value of e raised to the specified power. The value can be a Decimal or Integer literal or a reference to a column containing numeric values. |
- e or Euler's Number is the value that the following equation approaches as n grows large: (1 + (1/ n)) n.
Numeric literal example:
| D code |
|---|
derive type:single value: EXP(1) |
Output: Generates a column containing the value of e1, which is approximately 2.718281828.
Column reference example:
| D code |
|---|
derive type:single value: EXP(MyValue) as: 'exp_MyValue' |
Output: Generates the new exp_MyInteger column containing the value of e to the power of the value in the MyValue column.
| D code |
|---|
derive type:single value: EXP(numeric_value) |
