Is there a way to Average Selected Book data?

Bookstooge · 02-11-2023, 06:39 PM

I have been using the old fashioned way of adding up my ratings column, my word count and my page count and averaging them by using my calculator and doing it all by hand.

There used to be a plugin, the Sum, that would do some of that, but it's no longer updated so I can't use that.

Is there a way to get these 3 averages simply by selecting all the books I want the average for? If there isn't, that's fine, as my calculator is still working but figured I'd ask so if the wheel had been invented, I wasn't over here clomping along in my stone boots.

Cheers.

A working version of Sum Columns is here.

Thanks for that link. I didn't realize there was a beta. Cheers!

Hmmm, so I added that beta zip and while it shows up under the user interface, I can't configure it. It keeps saying I have to restart calibre. And without configuring it I can't add it to my main toolbar.
I'm using Calibre 6.11 and win11.

Am I plumb out of luck here?

Ahhh, THAT did the trick. Guess I need to read and search more. Well, thank you very much, much appreciated.
