We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

Okay

    Hi,

    I have a question about Report Builder. Am I correct assuming that it allows me to set the table in a way that all totals I have in my table will be visable in downloaded excel file? The description says that it is possible for "certain values" so I'm not sure if it means the same values for which calculating total in table is possible. Also I want to know if this option is avaiable in front end? I mean user clicks "Excel" button above the table and what he gets is a file with a total numbers? I have dynamic data in tables and I'm not sure if this will work for me.

    Best regards,

    Jola

    Hi Jola,

    If you are generating a single report for all rows, you can calculate totals for numeric (float and integer) columns, to do this insert the variables like:

    ${mycolumn.total}

    This means that you can enter this variable on the desirable place in your template and it will be replaced by actual calculated number.
    Best way to show totals in the frontend is with the table where you can show it in column footer and somewhere else on the page with the shortcode. 

    Report builder is separate functionality from table export with table tools. Please see this documentation on how to create Excel reports with Report builder.

    You can see and try all the features from this addon in our sandbox website:
