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
- Open Column settings → Footer aggregation.
- Select a function: Count, Count distinct, Sum, Avg, Min, Max, or Mode.
- 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 rows → 42 |
| 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 |
Examples are illustrative. Actual formatting follows your column type and display settings.
