Aleksandra, hello.
I have a small (~1 year) vacations in my relationship with handsontable, now I get back and I would like to know: have you some improvements with formulas engine. I see still “alpha” status. Can you explain current status\your plans regarding this feature.
Thanks.
Formula feature state
nice to see you back in the Handsontable deployment
Yes, the plugin is alpha but we are working on a new engine for the formulas and this engine is something that can be really big. We have done the research with a group of mathematicians and it sounds like a great plan. However this project is complicated (we work with an external dev team) so it will take a couple of months to see the results.
Aleksandra, thanks.
Can I refine: is it formula engine what you told https://github.com/handsontable/formula-parser?
If yes, how can I use it? Is it “injected” into Hot CE or I must to use it separately?
Thanks again.
The new formula engine is in preparation. We have started to work on it (actual coding) a month ago but it is a job for a year.
We have gathered experience of building formula logic from the parser (link) but it will be something completely different.
@aleksandra_budnik, thanks. Now I understand a situation and can go to code desktop app, I think when I will finish it you will finish new formula’s engine too.
Oh I wish you a faster progress.
