2 years ago Among the current (core) widgets, this is the only place where this feature would belong. However, it is probably relevant only for text data, and those users wouldn't look for it in this widget. Hence we said this should better be implemented within some text mining widget, so I'm moving the issue to the corresponding repo.
What's your use case?
In computational linguistics, one often observes sums of attributes, i.e. sum of word counts. One can add Word count with Statistics widget, but it is nigh impossible to see how many words (or nouns or whatever) there are in total in the corpus.
What's your proposed solution?
Add a column reporting a sum of values to Feature Statistics (for numeric attributes only, possibly without time variables).
Are there any alternative solutions? Do add a permanent column, but add an option to add a column with sum with right click. Similar to adding additional scores in Test and Score.
