Constant options
In this section, you will learn about the constants that you can use inside a formula property. Constants are not used often inside formulas, but knowing what is available without needing to create a property can help reduce database size and formula size, which makes formulas much easier to create.
Note
Some of the constants are numbers and some are Booleans. Boolean constants are most likely to be used, but if you require a constant to calculate something, number constants can be useful.
The e
constant is the base of the natural logarithm. This means when you are creating equations inside a formula using any log functions or operators, this can be put in to create the intended output. The Help window shown in Figure 8.4 shows how it can be used. It demonstrates how to get a result by using two =
signs in a Notion formula property:
The pi
constant works in a very similar way, giving you...
