Hello all, I have been struggling with this feature in GlideApps, this is the feature I want to achieve:

In an normal accounts ledger for party ‘X’, there are a list of transactions along with the date, transaction ID, amount and net effect, as shown below. Kind of like a monthly bank statement.

_ **I want to know how to produce the net effect for each row in a glide table** _

It’s easy to achieve this in a spreadsheet as you can use formulas to have each cell reference the surrounding cells yet I do not know how to tackle this within GlideApps’s Glide Tables. My data in Glide is as shown below.

@Darren_Murphy Just checked. This seems to work only in Glide Tables and not Glide Big Tables. Is this true?

That’s quite possible, especially if you have multiple relations involved.  
I haven’t tried this myself in a GBT, so it’s something I would need to experiment with.

@Darren_Murphy So would a normal Glide table be able to hold about 1 million rows of data over 14-16 months just containing rows with inventory in out data?

Putting row limits aside, I’d expect that you could load 1 million rows in a normal Glide Table, yes.  
But getting 1 million rows to load on a users device (or even in the Glide builder) is a completely different matter.

But let’s not put the cart before the horse. It hasn’t yet been determined that what you want to do cannot be done in GBT. And I expect that it probably can be done. When I have some time, I’ll have a play with it, and will come back to you if I come up with a solution.

@Darren_Murphy Thank you! I will perform some trials myself as well
