Hi Russel,

hmmm, an alternative would be to introduce a new property and do the computation in the properties. I can see that it would be relatively simple to define a TBLFM line that should be added to the table capturing the the column view, but if you need to add extra columns to the table, this makes things a lot harder.

I've taken to using the column view tables to aggregate table from an
outline.

I'd like to be able to use standard spreadsheet features in the same
table, specifically column formulas.

Right now it works, I can add an extra column and enter a column
formula. However when the table is refreshed in column mode, I lose
the spreadsheet data.

I see two fixes, either the TBLFM line is preserved, or could the
column formula be specified in the COLUMNS line?

Imagine a small table with two properties, VALUE and QUANTITY, where
TOTAL VALUE should be calculated via simple multiplication.

Thanks.
