Any chance this could be made to work together with formulas used by Advanced Tables?
Describe the feature
Hi.
I'm currently using the Advanced Tables plugin to add a simple "totals" column to my tables, which is super useful.
However, as described in https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian/blob/main/docs/help.md, the way this works is by adding one (or more) html comment line of the form <!-- TBLFM: [formula] --> directly after the table, which is currently incompatible with the "chart from table" feature, as I cannot have both the formula and the required the block id marker as the next line after the table.
i.e. I'd need to be able to do something like this:
| | Test1 | Test2 | Test3 |
| ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Data1 | 1 | 2 | 3.33 |
| Data2 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| Data3 | 6.7 | 4 | 2 |
| TOTAL | | | |
<!-- TBLFM: @>$2=sum(@I..@-1) -->
^table
but if I try something like this I get the error "Couldn't render Chart: There is no table at that id and/or file"
Does this fix a problem? If so, specify.
It does. This would make Charts work with computed formulas, which adds a lot of power to a user's workflow!
Did you consider other alternatives?
I don't know any other alternatives at the moment..

@n00bmind @thiduzz I came here to +1 this, but I've actually just found a workaround :-)
The block id marker doesn't have to be following the table, it can be within it, so try changing your example table to:
| ^table | Test1 | Test2 | Test3 |
| ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Data1 | 1 | 2 | 3.33 |
| Data2 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| Data3 | 6.7 | 4 | 2 |
| TOTAL | | | |
<!-- TBLFM: @>$2=sum(@I..@-1) -->
If there was text in the first cell it could also be e.g.:
| Data ^table | Test1 | Test2 | Test3 |
| ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Data1 | 1 | 2 | 3.33 |
| Data2 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| Data3 | 6.7 | 4 | 2 |
| TOTAL | | | |
<!-- TBLFM: @>$2=sum(@I..@-1) -->
or put the block id in any other empty cell.
Seems to work in a similar example for me (desktop obsidian v1.6.5)
