How can I calculate a sum in a bullet list?

[chmac]

I’d like to have a bullet list like this:

- foo 100
  - foo.bar 200
- bar baz 400
- sum: 700

I’d like the 700 value to be updated automatically. I’m open to changing the syntax of my lines a bit, especially on the sum line. Is there any plugin that can do this?

I realise I could use DataView, and I might end up doing that if I can’t find a better option, but I find the performance is terrible, and I would like to have the actual result in the markdown file committed to git if possible. My other fallback idea is to write some code that runs the calculation and updates the file on a git hook or similar.

ChatGPT eventually pointed me to write some JavaScript and use the QuickAdd plugin to run it as a script. It works! If you find yourself looking for this same thing, let me know and I’ll see if I can post the solution that works for me.

Bases will be gaining a list view in the future. It’s currently in beta.

EDIT: Actually that might not help you that much because the values would have to be properties in notes, which is probably more complexity than you’re looking for.
