Improved footer for table visualization
Improved footer for table visualization
The table footer displays the results of calculations (and reducer functions) on fields. We’ve updated the footer so that you can apply multiple calculations or reducers simultaneously:
In the panel editor, you can see that the Calculation option now allows you to select multiple calculations at once:
We’ve also removed the Show footer switch in the panel editor. Now, the footer is only displayed if you select an option in the Calculation drop-down list. With this change, you can never have an empty footer by mistake.
The Fields option has also been removed, and by default, footer calculations now apply to all fields in the table. If you want the calculation to only apply to a subset of fields, you can control that using field overrides. This aligns with other table options and provides a more consistent user experience.
With this update, we’ve also improved non-math reducer functions (like First and Last) so that they’re applied to non-numeric fields, like strings. Previously, this functionality wasn’t supported for non-numeric fields.
Note that calculations applied to cell types like Markdown + HTML might have unexpected results.
