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 Mauricio

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    There are several limitations when using formula columns in wpDataTables:

    1. One formula column cannot be used in another. This limitation can be avoided by using nested calculations.
    2. In tables with server-side processing formula, columns cannot be used for grouping, filtering, and sorting. Basically, formulas are calculated only for the rows that are immediately visible; Therefore, it’s not possible to “know” the values for currently invisible rows. Please note that this also applies to the “Manual” tables, as they also use server-side processing by default. Also, of course, it is not possible to edit the cells generated by formulas in the editable tables.
    3. Adding a sum in the sum row for formula columns is not yet supported.
    4. Using calculation functions in formula columns is not possible
