Formula columns are not being saved in the database, thus they don't have a unique column ID available for shortcodes.
For example, here is one of my Manual tables, i count 16 columns, with the Formula column,
but in the database, it only saves 15 columns - the Formula column does not get created in the database.
There are several other limitations to be aware of when using formula columns in wpDataTables:
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.
Each column that is create has a unique column id, which I would like to know how to find.
For example: [wpdatatable_sum table_id=1 col_id=4 value_only=0]
However, calculated columns do not have such shortcode but they still have a column id # to identify it.
I would like to know how to find it. Thank you.
