And we will point out important limitations for Formula columns :
One formula column cannot be used in another. This limitation can be avoided by using nested calculations.
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.
Adding a sum in the sum row for formula columns is not yet supported.
Hi
Is it possible to make calculations based on cells that taken form different tables?
Thank you
Hi, miri
Sorry for the delay
-
We are not sure we fully understood your question.
If you meant, is it possible to open a formula editor, in a Formula based column,
and to use values from a column from another table, and place it as part of the calculation,
in that case it is not possible.
-
But, if you have multiple tables in your database, and you wish to create a relation between tables,
to pull a column from another table into the current table,
then you could use this column's values as part of a formula/calculation.
