Yes, you can use formulas in Clay similar to Excel! To calculate the total cost of running AI in every row:
1. Add a new column and select Formula
2. In the AI Formula Generator box, type your calculation instructions (use "/" to reference your cost column)
3. Click Generate Formula to create your AI formula
4. Review the sample output and click Save Formula
For total cost per row across all columns, you can set up a formula that sums your AI costs. Clay formulas support standard JavaScript, Excel functions like SUM, and are ideal for totals and calculations.

To sum up all values in your cost column, add a new Formula column. In the AI Formula Generator, type something like "Sum all values in /[your cost column name]" and click Generate Formula. This will calculate the total across all rows in that column.
