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,

    When conditional formatting in a string cell, if i were to set the cell content to a number dependent on the contents of the cell, is it possible to then sum this column as it is now entirely populated with integers. An example is if the order is for Apples, I have conditionally formatted this cell to display the number '1' instead. However when I then try to sum this column it returns 0 as it was not an integer column to begin with. Is there any way to get around this? Ideally I'd like to add another column whereby I could conditionally format across columns however I don't believe this feature exists. 

    Please let me know.

    Many thanks,

    Zak

    Hello Zak

    Unfortunately what you're looking for to achieve is not possible.

    What comes to mind is to add another integer column which will have the default editing value "1". Then, you would be able to include SUM for that Order column (and you can even hide the Item column).

    For example, the original table is:

    5997980384.png

    Then, you'd add "%VAR1%" as a predefined filtering value for the Item column:

    9212137060.png

    When displaying the table on front-end, you would use shortcode like [wpdatatable id=7 var1='Apple']:

    9553205501.png

    So, you would be able to change the placeholder through the shortcode, and have the Order column display total orders for that filtered column.

    Kind Regards,
