How to multi-select rows + other specific questions?

Baserow Help

Hey, @petrs!

I gave my client an access to the self-hosted Baserow and they had a couple of questions:

  1. Why rows calculations in groups sorting is broken (the number on the right side of the group name)?

    For example, total number of rows in “Company ‘Love me apples’ Inc.” is 260, but it shows 40/20/120 (the number changes while scrolling) for some reason, e.g. it’s incorrect.

  2. How to summarize various data for each group? How to “minimize” a group instead of scrolling all the way down?

    For example, I can see the total cost of all participants (rows) in the “Events” database, but there’s no way to see each groups data, like I cannot see a total cost of all participants in “2026 Summer Camp” event (group) only.

    This feature is quite important for my client, since they want to see total X for specific groups at a glance.

    This is possible in Airtable — you can see a total cost (sum) of each tariff (group). Also, you can see the “minimization” of the group, since I don’t need to see all the data at once.

  3. This is my question, but do Baserow formulas differ a lot from Airtable ones?

    I didn’t check the docs yet, just focused on the server side of things for now.

Thanks for the replies in advance!

Oh, BTW, some hotkeys not working in non-English or non-Latin keyboard layouts. Like CTRL+Z doesn’t work on a Russian layout. I think it’s possible to change the Baserow config, I did Google about it, but not sure how to do it exactly, don’t know much about Docker too. Would be great if it was implemented, since lack of the non-Latin keyboard layouts is kinda strange, imo.
