How can you raise a number to a power?

Hi,

How can I raise a number to a power?
I have not found such a formula and

a = b ** c;

does not work.

Hi there,
there is no such formula. You can try to use the While loop for this https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/formula/#while. Something like this:

$i = 2;
while(
    $i <= c,
    b = b * b;
    $i = $i + 1;
);
a = b;

Note, I didn't test this formula.

Or you can try to add your custom formula for such purposes https://docs.espocrm.com/development...on-in-formula/.

if the exponent is known ahead of time I would just express the power as multiplications
