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!
Hi
Suppose I have a simple table created with WPDataTables with 2 lines (1 and 2) , 2 colums (A and B)
Column A is filled with the following data
(A,1) = 5 (A,2) = 7
For Column B , line 1: I want to add dynamically the sum : (A,1) + (B,1)
In my example it will be 12
How do I do that with a simple code in PHP ? Or Jquery ?
Thanks for your help
Hi again
Further to my previous post I'd like to precise :
1) creating a table updated from google sheet could be a solution , but the updated time is at least 3 minutes (from my assessment) and this does not meet my needs.
2) Using a formila column is not a solution as my calculation is not based on single row values but on multiple rows values distributed in one colum.
Best regards
Yves
Hello Yves
Thank you for your purchase.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
If I'm not mistaken, this is what you want to achieve, correct?
So, B1 would be "=A1+A2"
That's not something wpDataTables can do.
You can add calculation functions for column A, and have the SUM displayed in the footer, but that's about it. Using Formula Columns would allow you to combine row values of columns A and B, but not what you wish to accomplish.
As the Google Spreadsheet file gets bigger, the loading times can increase to 10 - 15 minutes, since there's cache on Google's side.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Hi Aleksandar
Thank you for your clear and detailed answer.
Do you know if there is any plan from TMS Plugins to provide a more "excel -like" behaviour for the cells (i.e. possibility to use some Formula Cells) ?
Do you have any examples of code which could help me ? (i.e. reading cells, calculating and inserting in a cell)
Best regards
Yves
Hello Yves
I don't believe we'll ever achieve the complexity of Excel formulas, but the plugin is constantly under development, so it may evolve in that direction at some time in the future.
Unfortunately, there are is no code that would help you out here, but you can only use the Formula Columns.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
