}Example 1 - Calculate exponential growth rate
To calculate the exponential growth rate of total sales volume of a store by 10% and 20% respectively, use the $exp operator to multiple the value of the totalSales field by e^0.1 and e^0.2.
db.stores.aggregate([{
$match: {
_id: "40d6f4d7-50cd-4929-9a07-0a7a133c2e74"
}
},
{
$project: {
name: 1,
currentSales: "$sales.totalSales",
projectedGrowth: {
oneYear: {
$multiply: [
"$sales.totalSales",
{
$exp: 0.1
} // 10% growth rate
]
},
twoYears: {
$multiply: [
"$sales.totalSales",
{
$exp: 0.2
} // 20% growth rate
]
}
}
}
}
])This query returns the following result:
