Either I am crazy or I cannot find a drop-down to create a formula in any of my columns. This is my first time using the app I created a table from scratch.

Hi @Justin_Kaplan

Are you using the mobile app or desktop app? Apple or Windows?

Hi @Justin_Kaplan

It would be better to use the desktop version. The mobile version has limited field options. Also, the dropdown menus are in the desktop version.

There are certain field types that are only available on the desktop, such as formulas.

Maybe this information will help:

Hope this helps.

Wow, so can’t create simple formulas on iOS? That will be a deal killer for me.
