Hi Jeff. Glad you were able to get such a quick start. To make such
quick starts possible, exhibit is intentionally limited in its
capabilities---it's great at showing stuff, but really limited in what
it can compute. Exhibit does have a limited spreadsheet-like
"expression" language, but it's only about computing functions of a
particular item:
http://www.simile-widgets.org/wiki/Exhibit/Functions
the function may reference multiple other items, so for example you can
ask for the sum of costs of projects dependent on a particular project,
but I don't think there's any way to get a function over all the items
currently matching a filtering criterion.

Hi Everyone,
Just found Simile/exhibit when searching for an open source dynamic
tabular view via a webpage. I'm really impressed with how quick it is
go get going, and straightfoward documentation. I have one sticking
point now, on my webpage, users have the ability to filter "project'
by different criteria (assigned division, fiscal year, project
sponsor). Each project has a cost. I'd like to be able to display
the sum of the filtered values somewhere on the page. For example, If
the user filtered projects by assigned division, and there are 3
projects in the division costing 1000, 4000 and 5000 dollars. I would
like the total of 10,000 dollars to show on the page. However, if
they then filtered by fiscal year, only the 7 projects for that fiscal
year would be displayed, and the total would be available somewhere on
the page.
I've searched through the mailing lists and wiki, and seen a couple of
references to to something similar, but nothing on the mark. If I'm
missing something obvious, I'd really appreciate a example, link or
info; or if Exhibit/simile really doesn't have this functionality,
letting me know that would be great as well to reduce the amount of
tail chasing (smile).
Thanks,
Jeffrey
