No summaries/reporting working in mirrored column

Hello,

I am struggling to figure out whether I have a bug or if it is just not possible to have a summary row at the bottom of mirrored columns. Because of this I cant get a summation of numbers or create reports. Please help! I click on column settings and it allows me to hit sum but does nothin after that.

Cheers

Hey! Thanks so much for replying. I have done it a few times and I click sum as I should, but nothing shows up at the bottom. All of my columns that are not mirrored show the sum but ones that are do not show the sum. I am talking about the summary at the bottom, that usually will show the total of whatever is in that column unless I click hide

Hi @shinewindows - This may be a bug. I just added a brand new mirror column and was able to reproduce the lack of a total once I set it up. I’ll report it to support and see what they say.

Edit - Support says it’s not fully supported right now, hopefully will be resolved when other mirroring updates come out later this year. I know they are working on multi-mirroring which is still in dev. I’ll keep an eye on this one.

Thank you so much! At least I know I’m not going crazy

Just wanted to post that I was able to resolve the issue by using the format column which allowed me to duplicate the column I needed to get the sum. I then collapsed the column to hide the original column.

This did not work for me. If I duplicate the mirror column the sum is still not working. I too would like mirror columns to total at the bottom. To me this is an oversight that should be fixed. But with only 5 votes in the last 3 years, there is little hope.

Monday does not seem to be that interested in fixing those small issues that adds up accross the platform. They prefer to add new features. I would say they are overextending themselves. The most obvious example is why there is no folders for managing automations? Or they add a way to ‘lock’ views but when you create a new column in a board it still adds that column to the ‘locked’ view. If I compare with the Zapier platform, they make those small improvement to the interface an administering of the platform all the time and at the same time are able to grow their platform.
