I still need to calculate that value. My fear is that doing this will be 
expansive since I will have to pre-calculate it. For example, for the A column, 
I will have to check how many items are in the stock and the transactions 
columns to be able to either set the rowspace attribute (for a <td>) or the 
height (by CSS). And I will have to calculate it every time an action is taken 
(when a new transaction is created).
