How do you calculate a "Trending" formula

[john11]

I would like to compute a simple “Trending” formula, like:
(# upvotes)/((# days since creation date)^(1/2))

How would you do this?
I have 2 issues:

• getting # days since creation date
• how to do the () and ^(1/2)

Thanks for the help!

I don’t know about trending formula’s, but if that caret represents a power you can use Math.pow(x, y); within the Expression element and Bubble also supports powers when dealing with numbers:
