Add functions to calculation formulas
Learn how to add functions to calculation formulas via the web app and the mobile app.
What does it mean to add functions to formulas?
Manually extracting data from inspections and transferring it to spreadsheet programs for calculations can be time-consuming and inefficient. With functions in your calculation formulas, you can instantly process and analyze data within SafetyCulture, eliminating the need for third-party tools. This ensures you have real-time insights at your fingertips, enabling faster, data-driven decisions the moment information is captured.
Users must have version 25.12 or later of the SafetyCulture mobile app to view functions added to calculation questions in inspections.
Add functions to a calculation formula
Select
Plantillas from the menu on the left-hand side.Click the template and select Editar plantilla in the side panel.
Add a new number response question or select an existing one.
In the side panel, type $ and select the function you want to use. Then, type $ followed by a question's label to use it as an argument. Please note that functions are case-sensitive.
You can also select the relevant function and question from the "Functions" and "Questions" dropdowns.
Click Guardar y aplicar.
Click Publicar on the upper-right of the page to publish the template. If you're not ready to publish the template, you can go back to the template list and publish the changes when you're ready.
Open the mobile app.
Tap
Inspecciones at the bottom of your screen.Select Plantillas tab at the top of your screen.
Tap the template and select
Editar plantilla from the pop-up options.Add a new number response question or select an existing one.
Under the question, tap
on the right-hand side of "Number" and tap Número next to "Format".On this screen, select Cálculo.
Type $ and select the function you want to use. Then, type $ followed by a question's label to use it as an argument. Please note that functions are case-sensitive.

Las fórmulas que utilizan preguntas numéricas con unidades no se convertirán automáticamente.
Por ejemplo, si está calculando la velocidad en kilómetros por hora y hace referencia a una pregunta numérica que utiliza metros como unidad en su cálculo, los metros no se convertirán a kilómetros. Deberá cambiar la unidad en la pregunta numérica o la pregunta numérica en su totalidad.
Available functions
This table outlines all the available functions for calculation formulas. In a function, "Value" can either be a referenced question or an integer.
Function | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
SQRT (Square root) |
| Returns the square root of the value. For example, SQRT(9) = 3. |
ABS (Absolute value) |
| Returns the absolute (positive) value of the input. For example, ABS(-5) = 5. |
SIN (Sine) |
| Returns the sine of the given radian. For example, SIN(3.14 / 2) = 1. |
COS (Cosine) |
| Returns the cosine of the given radian. For example, COS(0) = 1. |
POWER |
| Raises the first value to the power of the second. For example, POWER (2,3) = 8. |
LOG |
| Returns the logarithm of the first value to the base of the second. For example, LOG(8,2) = 3. |
SUM |
| Calculates the sum of all values. For example, SUM(1,5,9) = 15. |
AVERAGE |
| Computes the average (mean) of all values. For example, AVERAGE(4,8,12) = 8. |
MEDIAN |
| Returns the median value from the input numbers. For example, MEDIAN(3,1,4,2,5) = 3. |
MODE |
| Returns the most frequently occurring value from the given values. For example, MODE(3,5,3,7,5,5) = 5. |
STDEV (Standard deviation) |
| Calculates the standard deviation of the given values. For example, STDEV(4,8,6,5,9) = 1.87. |
AVEDEV (Average deviation) |
| Calculates the average deviation of the given values. For example, AVEDEV(4,8,6,5,9) = 1.68. |
DEFAULT_VALUE |
The DEFAULT_VALUE function will need to reference a question and an integer in the respective order. | Returns the default value if a referenced question is unanswered. For example, DEFAULT_VALUE(Question, 15). If the question is answered, the function is equal to the number entered. If unanswered, the function is equal to 15. |
Preguntas frecuentes
An argument is a value or input that a function uses to perform a calculation. In calculation formulas, arguments can be numbers or questions, enclosed in parentheses. Some functions allow multiple arguments to refine calculations further.
For example, in the formula AVERAGE(Question 1, Question 2, Question 3), each question referenced is considered as 3 separate arguments.
Aunque las preguntas para respuesta de cálculo son compatibles con las secciones de repetición, hay casos en los que no podrá crear una fórmula y un número de referencia o una pregunta para respuesta de cálculo en las secciones de repetición.
Caso 1: Una fórmula dentro de una sección de repetición no puede hacer referencia a un número o una pregunta para respuesta de cálculo que sea parte de una sección de repetición anidada.
En el siguiente ejemplo, la pregunta de respuesta de cálculo Total - Principal no puede hacer referencia a preguntas de respuesta numérica en las secciones de Repetición (Secundario), ya que está anidada dentro de la sección de Repetición (Principal).
Caso 2: Una fórmula dentro de una sección de repetición no puede hacer referencia a un número o a una pregunta para respuesta de cálculo de una sección de repetición independiente.
En el siguiente ejemplo, Total - 2 la pregunta de respuesta de cálculo no puede hacer referencia a preguntas de respuesta numérica en las Secciones de repetición (1) , ya que las preguntas se encuentran en secciones de repetición independientes.
If your inspection has a calculation formula with functions, you may get an error message on mobile app versions below 25.12. While the data entered will be calculated and can still be viewed on the web app, it's best to keep your mobile app up to date to ensure you can view functions in inspections.
