fast way to enable/disable formula calculations

☐ cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

 

 

Columns with formulas are indicated by a "+" sign.

Left clicking on the "+" opens the formula editor window - that's very convenient.

 

Right clicking on the "+" doesn't have an effect yet.

My suggestion:

At the moment it takes several mouse clicks to disable the evaluation of formulas.

Could you please add the possibility to switch the evaluation of a formula off and on by a right click context menu of the "+" sign?

This is a nice suggestion. We are not currently planning on making this change, but will consider in a future release.

another entry for the formula icon right click menu:
remove formula
[action: same as "remove" in the "Column Info ..." menu: keep the values, delete the formula

This wish could help users who suffer from unexpected re-evaluations of formula columns, like it is described by @Chris_Rodrigues in this post:
Why does selecting/deselecting rows trigger column formulas to be re-evaluated?
