Hello,

I'm strongly considering purchasing wpDataTables, and a big part of my front-end functionality will depend upon using column calculations which then display the resutling column calc result elswhere in the site as a dyamic result.

For this, it looks like I could use  https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/calculation-functions/ the parse shortcodes functionality to show a dynamically calculated column sum or average elsewhere in the site.  

That said, It is also critically important that I can read that same variable value, such as the sum of a certain column, with javascript or jquery.  

Is it possible to get the value displayed by a dynamic shortcode such as a dynamic calculated column sum, and then use it/display it using javascript?

TLDR; is it possible to get the results of a table column sum into a usable javascript or php variable for other code/calculations/display?

Thanks for your advice!

Jason
