1. Runtime Totals and Averages On-Screen (Without Additional Table Columns)  
I need to display runtime totals and averages on the screen without adding extra columns to the underlying table. Is there a way to perform these calculations at the screen level instead?

2. Bulk Selection for Group Actions  
I also want to select multiple items (e.g., transactions) to perform batch actions on them—such as combining payments. Is there a way to implement multi-select functionality for this purpose?

No, not that I am aware of.

Yes, this is possible. After selecting the items, you would need to trigger either a server-side workflow and/or a call to the Glide API to effect the updates. Both require paid plans.

It would be nice to have a math component.
