Footer Aggregation

Add automatic aggregations to the footer row of your table. Footer aggregations summarize column values and display the result beneath the table.

They are useful when you want a quick overall summary of the current table without enabling grouping.

Quick guide

  1. Open Column settings → Footer aggregation.
  2. Select a function: Count, Count distinct, Sum, Avg, Min, Max, or Mode.
  3. Review the result in the footer and click Save.

Tip: Footer aggregations summarize the current table view and are shown in the footer row only.

At a glance

Function Good for Example (input → footer output)
Count Tickets, rows, items 42 rows42
Count distinct Unique users, SKUs, labels ["Ana","Ken","Ken","Maya"]3
Sum Revenue, hours, totals [120, 80, 50]250
Avg Satisfaction, score, SLA [4.6, 4.9, 4.0]4.5
Min Earliest date, fastest time [2025-01-10, 2025-01-03, 2025-01-25]2025-01-03
Max Latest date, largest amount [5000, 12000, 8000]12000
Mode Predominant status or label ["In progress","Blocked","In progress","Done"]In progress

Notes

• Different columns can use different footer functions in the same table.
• Footer aggregations work together with your chosen data types and display formats.
