I am converting my glide pages apps from google sheets to airtable. I am currently using pivot tables in google sheets to summerize data and display sums of data - what is my best path to create that with airtable? - from my testing “views” from an airtable base are not useable inside glide.

Could you create new Glide calculation columns to give you the result of what you have in the pivot? Is the pivot very complex? Calculations seem the best way to do this natively in glide.

Agree. It enhances performance so it’s a good practice.
