How to use column summary bar

Retable's column summary bar helps you to easily calculate values for a set of records. Column summary bar's values are a type of metadata not currently accessible by formulas. Because Retable's formulas work on row level. In other words, when you create a formula column, this formula is run for each row.

The column summary bar is located at the bottom of your table. Each column type offers a different summary option.

To select a different summarization function for a specific column, you click on the summary bar below that column. This will open up a menu of different summary functions. The types of summary functions available will depend on the column type.
