computed-columns

What problem does it solve?

Glide users often need to perform per-row calculations, cross-table lookups, and aggregated summaries but Glide's built-in formulas are limited to per-row logic. This Skill provides a structured approach to building and chaining Glide computed columns to replace spreadsheet-style formulas with native table logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Per-row calculations: Math columns compute totals, differences, and derived metrics across all rows.
• Conditional logic: If-Then-Else columns drive status, flags, and dynamic UI behavior.
• Relational data and lookups: Relation and Lookup columns connect tables and pull related values.
• Aggregations: Rollup columns summarize related rows for counts, sums, and averages.
• Templates & AI enhancements: Template columns and experimental AI columns generate dynamic text based on data.
• Usage example: Create an Order Total by multiplying Quantity by Unit Price, then display a Status Emoji based on total.

Quick Start

Open Glide Data Editor, add a new column, choose a computed column type (Math/If-Then-Else/Relation/Lookup/Rollup/Template), and configure a simple example like calculating Total = Quantity × Unit Price.
