kexi - calculation fields
by peter on Tuesday 30/Oct/2007, @11:24

Hi guys,

What I want is calculation fields in Kexi. This is ALL I want. Just let me, as in Filemaker, put a field in a form, and have that field be the result of arithmetic operations on other fields.

Like, I have 10k records of sales transactions. They have an item number, description and a date and category of item. I just want to make a summary, showing total sales by month by item. I need to do ifs as well. So I need to be able to show book sales by month in total - not just the sales of each book, but the total for the category book.

I know this would take me 5 mins in any version of filemaker after 2.0. Well maybe earlier even. I have no idea how to do it in Kexi. Please help! Or if it is easy already, put it in the docs how to do it. If only I were a programmer at the level of you guys, I would get the source and add it. But I am not. It cannot take you more than a couple of days. Just do it. We will be eternally grateful, make large contributions to KDE, tell all our friends how nice you guys are, promise never to complain about bouncing progress indicators or horrible pastels again.... or anything else you ask!

Best wishes,

Peter
