Square Root Beast Mode

Is there a way to do a square root in beast mode? This leads to my bigger question about making a beast mode that calculates statistical confidence. I'm not very savvy when it comes to SQL statements, but I can usually manage to get what I need until I tried to recreate the formula contained on this page.

 

If anyone can help or has any insight, that would be great.

 

Thank you.

    In MYSQL, SQRT is function to culcurate square Root.

    But Currently it's not activated it. so it's better to request domo support team.

    Were you able to resolve this issue or find a workaround? I'm trying to calculate statistical significance in beast mode but may have to resort to a dataflow if we can't get the SQRT function turned on.

    I wasn't able to get a work around in place. Would you mind sharing your solution once you have it in place?

    I am going to reach out to support and then also try to do our calc in dataflow. Will update once we've figured it out!

    Have a working statistical analysis formula (2 event, chi-squared), am going through testing phase with client and will work on posting an article on it as soon as we get it stood up.

    Are there any updates on this? I am really curious about the implementation.

    You can accomplish this using the POWER function in beast mode:

     

    POWER('Value',.5)

     

    This gives you a an output of 'Value'^(1/2), which is the same as a square root.
