Description
Provide a way to have "derived" columns in tables, i.e. columns with values that are computed from other column values. First step would be to be able to use only the values of the same run and the same run set as input.
As calculation language we could simply use Python with eval
, but this is insecure, so maybe it should be enabled only if a special command-line flag is given. Alternatively we could implement our own expression evaluation language.
This is how it could look like:
<column title="column title" type="derived">calculation code</column>
Alternative names for "derived" are "calculated" or "computed".
Columns should probably be able to be marked as "hidden", which would they do not appear in the tables but are available as input to derived columns.
