Please please please give us the ability to do simple calculations in Paper tables.

Then we can stop using google docs spreadsheets.

Being able to insert a spreadsheet or eventually have formula support on Tables, like Quip feature for example.

 

Paper is awesome, keep rocking.

+1 On this!

Openoffice Writer and Libreoffice Writer have this ability in standard documents and this is very useful!

 

So very good to have, at least,  formulas for easy calculations in Dropbox: sum, count.

 

Popular example of table, that need sum formula:

| Bread  | 3 | $10 | $30 |
| Butter | 1 | $20 | $20 |
| Total  | 4 |  -  | $50 |

Hey Folks - @lukeyo & @Murz!

Great suggestion! I'm passing this along to the Paper's dev team ASAP as a feature request - it would definitely be a useful addition to our current features :grin:

If there's anything else you'd like to add to this, feel free to comment here or as you know, share your ideas here :upside_down:

Thanks so much for helping us improve Paper and have a lovely day ahead guys!

It would be great to have the ability to simple sum functions within tables.

I use paper for reports to management on projects and use the tables for presenting costs etc. having to manually total things is frustrating and error prone.

Cheers.

Hey there @moseshewetson - thanks for using Paper!

That would be great - I can see how many of our users could benefit from such a functionality within tables in Paper docs so I am passing your comments along to the dev team for consideration.

Also, I don't know if you've heard about our relatively recent integration with Airtable - it might worth checking it out. 

In the meantime, should you have any other feedback, questions or suggestions, please let me know.

Cheers :upside_down:

Is it possible to add a table with formulas; or an .xls or .csv file into a Paper Doc, that allows for calculations within the doc?

Hi there, currently this isn’t possible to do on a Paper doc, however I can forward this suggestion to our dev team for their consideration in future!

After using Paper Dropbox since the stat (and Hackpad previously) - I can say this is one of the most frequent features that I'd love to have. Ideally:

* Tables support formulae

* Formulae can cross-reference between tables
