Data tables

Tables that do the sums

Typed columns inside your docs, with formulas that work out each row as you type.

Change a quantity and the total works itself out.

Try it

A column that does the maths

Change a quantity and the total follows, as it would in a spreadsheet.

  • Columns for text, numbers, money, choices, contacts, deals and projects
  • Formula columns, written with column names
  • A total, an average or a count under any column

In practice

What Data tables give you

  • Typed columns

    Text, numbers, money, percentages, checkboxes, emails, links and phone numbers, each shown the way it should be.

  • Choices with colours

    Select and multi-select columns with your own coloured options, created as you type.

  • Linked to your records

    Contact, deal and project columns hold the record itself. Click one to go straight to it.

  • Formulas

    Write {Price} * {Qty} and every row works itself out. Rename a column and the formula keeps up.

  • Totals underneath

    A sum, an average, a median or a count under any column, worked out as you edit.

  • Sorted your way

    Sort the rows by any column, and drag rows and columns into the order you want.

How it works

Data tables in three steps

  1. Add a table

    Type /datatable in any doc, or turn an ordinary table into one.

  2. Give each column a type

    Number, currency, a select with coloured options, a contact, a deal, a project or a formula.

  3. Let it do the sums

    Formulas and totals update as you type.
