[feature]: Add possibility to perform calculations

Open j3mu5 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • [X] I have searched the existing issues

Summary

In the issues of Plane, I often enter nubers in tables but also in the text field. Then i perform calculations with these numbers.

  • Is it possible to perform dynamic calculations within tables, similar to Excel?
  • Alternatively, could a "Calculate" option be created when selecting the style elements (pressing "/")?

Why should this be worked on?

It would be a relief not to have to use an additional calculator software.

@j3mu5, this is a great ask– wanted to get a better grip on how you're using it for project management. Can you break down what these numbers are all about? Cause with our custom fields feature, understanding your use-case will contribute to better user experience.

Dear @vihar, thank you for the useful question about the exact use case. :bulb: In fact, I have mostly performed calculations in tables so far. An example is below. I think if the basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) as well as a sum over several fields is possible, most of my calculations are covered.

@j3mu5, this is awesome, thanks for sharing your use-case. i feel, we should give our tables more super-powers. will work on a PRD and shortly share it with the community.
