not a spreadsheet

embedding-shape•2mo ago

... because?

saulpw•2mo ago

it doesn't allow formulas in cells. everything is a table with rows and columns.

saxenaabhi•2mo ago

This lacks formulas?

If anyone is interested i can recomment org-mode tables which looks more feature rich than visidata: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-spreadsheet-intro...

donaldihunter•2mo ago

Much as I love org-mode tables, I'd say the only axis where an org table is more feature rich is the formula support. Visidata is an amazing multitool for exploring tabular data that supports many data sources. From an ergonomic perspective, visidata wins.

ZeroGravitas•2mo ago

It can do the first example on that page at least.

It calls them derived columns and you can use python to combine and process other columns.

https://www.visidata.org/docs/columns/#derived

leonim•2mo ago

This is the = command that adds a new column based on a Python expression you provide. You can reference the cells in the current row based on the column name.

It is also possible to create a column based on the output of a shell command.

VisiData is row based, not cell based, so you cannot create expressions that reference data across rows.
