Summary

We've covered a lot of concepts surrounding table calculations in this chapter. You now have a solid foundation for understanding everything from quick table calculations to advanced table calculations and data densification. The practical examples we covered barely scratch the surface of what is possible, but they should give you an idea of what can be achieved. The kinds of problems that can be solved and the diversity of questions that can be answered are almost limitless!

We'll turn our attention to some lighter topics in the next couple of chapters, with topics such as formatting and design, but we'll certainly see another table calculation or two before we're finished!
