    Hi @Lesage
    ,

    It seems that ewm() is a function in Pandas library for exponentially weighted (EW) calculations.

    https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.ewm.html

    If you want to use this you need to create a Pandas Dataframe object and then call this function ewm().

    This seems to require a series of data so if you want to calculate exponentially weighted mean of a column, row formula doesn't seem suitable for this because you will have access only to one row at a time.

    How does your input data look like?
