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!

PHP Fatal Error: Dividing by Zero

    Hi team, 

    I built a page that brings data from my server into a wpdatatable. I then created 3 shortcodes: one to add the number of accounts, another to calculate an average of the ticket amount, and another one to add all transactions. 

    I'm experiencing a PHP fatal error for my website when the source table is empty. I think this is because the system is trying to attempt an average (Division by Zero). 

    Can you please help? These are the logs:

    Hello Alejandro

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    When the source table is empty, the calculation functions do try to divide by zero, and that does cause an issue. What's the end result you'd like to see? Exclude empty rows so they're not included in the calculation or simply display some error message?

    Kind Regards,
