Correct,

**Alternatively Though:** you could also do a google sheets helper page pass through, per my response in the other topic here. to combine 6 sequential calculations into 2 operations.

> Some Extra Information.@ryan_rockwood for Google sheets functions that don’t exist in make, you can create a helper Google sheet, with columns for inputs, a formula column, and an outputs column. Then use the “set row values” and “get cell value” modules to run excel formulas in make. In this specific case: It would turn 17 multiplication make operations, into 2 make operations for the exponent example.

I use this method to combine tens of thousands of calculations across whole datasets into two make operations.

**There are a lot of strategies for optimizing operations use:** but also want to be careful not to blindly recommend more optimization methods not knowing what formulas are used in each module and where each variable is called. It could lead you down unproductive rabbit holes/wasted time as you learn the platform
