Roll up Sum Totals
Hi there,
My friend introduced me to WorkFlowy about a month or so ago and I absolutely love it!!!
I had an idea and am not sure if anyone has suggested it yet as I was unable to locate anything similar within the community forums, so, here it goes.
It would be nice if WorkFlowy would SUM (total up) the numbers contained with in the subtasks or items contained within any list.
(note: I am NOT interested in turning WorkFlowy into Excel, we already have an 'Excel'. This would just be convenient to have while I'm planning my grocery shopping or vacation clothes buying trips (or a babyshower, etc. etc.).
Thoughts on how this might work:
1) Whenever a List Header/Title included some identifying series of characters (as selected by the WorkFlowy dev team), say, '$$$$', WorkFlowy would know to replace it with a SUM total of the numbers listed in the consecutive sub items directly below.
a) Whenever a sub item started with a '$' and was followed immediately by a series of numerical characters AND
b) The following sub items ALSO started with a '$' which was immediately followed by a series of numeric values,
2) WorkFlowy would replace the designated characters in the List Header/Title, (let's say '$$$$') with the SUM TOTAL of the numbers listed in the consecutive sub items of that list.
How this might look...
(while creating the list)
My Shopping List $$$$
- $3 Milk
- $2 Butter
- $4 Granola
- $3 Toilet Paper
- $2 Dish Washing Liquid
(auto sum totaled list where the $14 was automatically generated by totaling the numbers after the $ in each of the consecutive sub items)
My Shopping List $14
- $3 Milk
- $2 Butter
- $4 Granola
- $3 Toilet Paper
- $2 Dish Washing Liquid
That's it in a nutshell!
Thanks for your consideration!
