How to use roll-up column?

Thanks to the Roll-up colum you can now easily summarize and aggregate data from multiple linked records within a single table or across multiple tables. 🎯

The Roll-up column is a game-changer for projects that require complex calculations or data from multiple sources. It allows you to create customized views of your data, generate reports, and calculate totals, averages, and percentages with ease. With just a few clicks, you can transform scattered data into a centralized and organized format, saving you time and effort.

The Roll-up column is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, with a range of aggregation functions to choose from, including sum, average, count, max, min, and more.
