I have a group that uses a function (eg. “determine the quarter based off the date”) to group the table (output is “Q1”, “Q2”, etc)
Unfortunately once grouped, and because the grouping relies on a function, you cannot from that view add a new row of data. To add data, you have to switch to an ungrouped view, add a line, and switch back…a very clunky workflow.
It would be nice if we can add data to a table even when viewing it via a formula. I understand why you can’t add directly to a group, because the calculation (“Quarter”) relies on data that you haven’t yet entered. So it can’t be added directly to a group, but you should be able to add a new item anyway (somewhere generically at the top?), and the tool can manage where it’s moved in the group view on the calculation, the same as it does when you edit an item.
Am i making sense? IS there a workaround other people use to deal with data that is grouped via a formula calculation? Switching views is too difficult for most workflows. You lose your place and it interrupts your thought process.
