Overview

The Labii Column Calculation widget enables powerful real-time data aggregation by allowing users to perform statistical operations—such as sum, average, maximum, minimum, median, standard deviation, and standard error—on values from an origin column across records that reference the current record. This widget is especially useful for automating complex calculations like material consumption, total check-in/check-out counts, yield analysis, and other cumulative metrics. By eliminating the need for manual computation and ensuring up-to-date values, the Column Calculation widget streamlines data tracking and enhances analytical precision across workflows.

The Column Calculation widget eliminates the hassle of manually converting values between different units. By configuring the conversion factor within the widget's settings, it can seamlessly perform automatic unit conversions.

Use case

• Use this widget to calculate the total checkin volume.

• Use this widget to calculate the total invoice amount.

• Use this widget to calculate the yield.

Configuration

To configure the widget, specify the data to be calculated and the desired calculation method.

• Columns of current table

  • Column (Unit) - Choose the column for unit. If this column is left blank, no unit conversion will be performed.

• Origin table settings

  • Table (Origin) - Select a table that stores the original data.

  • Column (Source) of the Origin table - Select the column in the origin table that is associated with the current record.

  • Column (Value) of the Origin table - Select the column in the origin table that is associated with the current record.

  • Column (Unit) of the Origin table - Choose the column in the origin table that records the unit of the value. If this column is left blank, no unit conversion will be performed.

  • Query - Further refine the displayed records by adding supplementary query criteria.

• Calculation settings

  • Data aggregation - Select how to aggregate the data for the value. Options include sum, average, max, median, min, standard deviation, and standard error.

  • Conversions - Specify the conversion factors for every unit utilized, ensuring inclusion of all units within the quantity unit. If a unit is not provided, a factor of 1 will be utilized.

  • Stop condition - The formula will stop calculation when the condition is met. It must return a true or false value. This field does not support other column data, you can only use the variable data to reference the current record data.

  • Should auto update when readonly - If checked, this widget will perform a live calculation when readonly.
