What is a more efficient method for including a calculated column?

edit

One efficient method for including a calculated column is to use a programming language, such as Python or R, to perform the calculations and generate the column. This method allows for the automation of the calculation process, reducing the potential for errors and increasing efficiency. It also allows for the use of more complex calculations and the integration of multiple data sources. Another method is to use built-in functions or formulas in spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. This method is ideal for simpler calculations and allows for easy manipulation of the data within the sheet.
