Add simple interactive formula

[Sorg, Alexander]

Is it possible to add a simple interactive formula to a confluence page? Let's say the formula is "[A] + [B] = <result>", where A and B are input fields where the viewer can change the values and the result is updated automatically.

Nearly a no-brainer when scripted directly in the webpage, but I only found spreadsheets that can be inserted. These are not formatted beautifully and are a bit over the top for my purpose.

BR,

Hi Alex

Maybe you want to have a look at our addon JavaScript Button for Confluence 

See Chapter Field Support at https://domasys.io/javascript-button/tutorial.html

Thank you Benno,

surely an interesting addon, but I'm working on a cloud-hosted company space, and our IT surely is not easy on bying new apps. :-)

Though I might consider it for my private spaces.

BR,

Alex

Hi @Sorg, Alexander 

Welcome to the community.

No you can't have simple interactive formula.

As Confluence is a wiki application and not a Spreadsheet application.

I'm not trying to offend you, but I see lots of these questions. If any tool could do everything we want why are there different tools?

A tool serves a purpose, just as a car does or any other specific job or action that needs to be done or executed.

Hello Marc,

No offense taken. I just saw that there are a lot of useful plugins, f.x. spreadsheet embedding, already available, and from my experience with e.g. WordPress I know that there's so much possible. It's perfectly OK that Confluence doesn't do this out-of-the-box, it might have just been that I couldn't find the best solution, if there's one. :-)

Thanks for your time!

Hi @Sorg, Alexander ! Welcome to the community!

I’d recommend checking out our app Elements Spreadsheet along with the Project Table macro. It's specifically designed for project and data management with seamless integration into Confluence pages.

With this tool, you can create various column types (calculations, text, people, select lists, etc.), and easily set up interactive formulas like "[A] + [B] = <result>". The tables are highly intuitive, easy to use, and much simpler to manage than traditional spreadsheets.

Feel free to reach out if you need more information!
