I'm sorry to disappoint You, but string manipulation is not possible with the plugin's built in features.
As You already said, and may have read in our documentation, only numeric (float and integer columns) can be used in formula columns.
Since we carefully follow customers requirements and try to implement most of them if they appear in requests from time to time, we will add this to our idea list and look into some possible solutions on plugin side in the future.
Unfortunately, I cannot say it will be any time soon. I am sorry for any inconvenience.
Hi, I just bought wpDataTables because I read somewhere that it was possible to define calculated columns.
Now I discover that this works only with numeric values.
This is very disappointing to me because I need string manipulation formula's.
Is this coming very soon? I ablosutely need it.
Thanks,
Ivo
