1. You can reference any other row by its number, so {$ROW5} will give you the value generated by the fifth row. So if {$ROW5} was a salary (number only) you could generate a commission by creating a Composite row with this in this options: {$ROW/5}

But please note: it’s really basic. If there was formatting on the salary value and it wasn’t a strict number, it may not work.

2. I’m afraid Composite only gets access to the *value* generated, not any additional metadata. Good idea, though! Create a feature request on github – that should be doable.

1)
Is there a reason why, we are not able to reference the current row.
I want a value in a column to be computed based on value of other column.
Example : Salary and commission. I need commission to be 20% of salary.

2) How do you reference a column in a composite field. You mention $ROW1, for a specific column do I use $ROW1.columnname ?

Thanks for any inputs.

Good luck!

Wondering if there is a way to do date arithmetic in the composite field.

Would like to create a date value that is between two other column values.

Thanks…
