Hey community!
We’ve recently received a feature request from @artoflogic: COUNTIF Function, with the idea to make it possible to check how many times a certain value in one column already exists in the Baserow table.
The way the database works, it’s impossible to run formulas at the field level; they only work at the row level. However, for simple field calculations, we have a footer aggregations feature: Footer aggregation // Baserow.
As many spreadsheet users are moving to Baserow, we think a feature allowing more advanced data manipulations at the field level could be useful to many users.
We already have some ideas. For example, we could add formula or filter support to the footer aggregations, allowing users to do more advanced analysis on their data at the field level. But in order to make a decision, we’d like to ask for your input.
Share your thoughts and/or use cases about this topic. We’re excited to hear your ideas!
