Feature request: calculated columns

Open reos-rcrozier opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

This is a feature request to add a numeric column type which is calculated from other number columns. It would be a formula where you can reference other columns.

There are various stages/levels to which this could be implemented

Level 1: allow formulas containing only plain number column values, I.e. not other columns of this calculated type

Level 2: also allow other calculated numeric columns as input, more like a spreadsheet

OK going crazy

Level 3: return result of python (or similar) script acting on the other numeric columns as input. Probably best in this case to work on whole column I put, and ensure script return whole column of numbers back.

There are many use cases, e.g. customer CRM pipeline where deal value is %success of stage * total deal value

Well, I change this issue to a generic "calculated columns" to track this feature. Unfortunately it's not planned for the first version.

This might also be just available in the view, perhaps an easier use case.

To collect a possible use case:

  • have a GitHub url in one column, extract meta columns calculated for information from the link, like issue state, assigned user, repository
