Calculated field
ATAN([score])
Sample data
| id | amount | units | score | other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | -2.5 | 2 | -0.8 | 3 |
| 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| 3 | 1.5 | 3 | 0.25 | 2 |
| 4 | 4 | 4 | 0.5 | 8 |
| 5 | 9 | 5 | 0.8 | 11 |
| 6 | 16 | 6 | 1 | 14 |
| 7 | null | 7 | null | 9 |
| 8 | 4 | 8 | -0.5 | null |
The same calculation as SQL
SELECT atan(score) AS result FROM input ORDER BY id
Runs the example above.
SELECT atan(score) AS result FROM input ORDER BY id

Result
| id | amount | units | score | result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | -2.5 | 2 | -0.8 | -0.674741 |

| 7 | null | 7 | null | null |
| 8 | 4 | 8 | -0.5 | -0.463648 |
Same rows from the calculation and from the SQL in DuckDB.
Where a naive translation goes wrong
- Replacing null results with zero changes missing-value semantics.
