Hello,

If a created a new calculate fied caled 'Data Calculated' can I use is for another calculation? 

When I am writing the formula below, I get A column in this calculation did not exist.

case when `= Data Calculated` = 'test' then '1' else 0 end

 

Thank you!

    The only way to reference a calculated field would be to either use the entire original Beast Mode in the next calculated field (referenced variables are not currently supported).

     

    The other option would be to build the first calculated column into the ETL process and have it calculted beforehand and then reference the new column name.

     

    Hope one of those helps solve your issue,
