TiddlyWiki Math Fields with tags

[Reaktorblue]

Hello,

Is there a way to add up numbers that are in the tiddler fields? For example, if I wanted to add up all of the numbers in field "cost" for all tiddlers tagged "incomplete" and "component" would that be possible? I was thinking maybe the mathematics operators but I haven't been having much luck getting that to work

I am sure you get some detailed answers but for short and quick: Shiraz dynamic table is a one answer!

This will do exactly what you want:

{{{ [tag[component]tag[incomplete]get[cost]sum[]] }}}

Eric,

Just curious but is there a way to format this as text? It seems to make the sum a link to a tiddler but I'd rather just have it display the value as text so I can format it with a "$" in front of it if possible

Just wrap the whole thing as follows

'<$text text={{{ above filter }}}/>`

Minor typo in Tony's reply.  As with all widgets, the widget name should have a "$" prefix.  This differentiates it from a standard HTML or XML element.

Thus:

<$text text={{{ ... }}} />

and, for your desired literal "$", you would write:

$<$text text={{{ ... }}} />

enjoy,
