Calculate budgets across projects
Hi I am trying to figure out how to make an expense app collect the cost of several types of different projects. Lets say I have project - a that is $5,000 and project - b that is $17,500 which are both classified as "admin projects". Is there a way to make an expense app that will add that value and keep track as I make projects with different classifications?
Essentially I want to calculate these values based on project cost (not hours worked).
Thank you!

Hi Alex,
what do you mean by "collect" in your first sentence? How are the projects "collected" in the expense app? Do you have expense-items that (manually) reference projects? I.e. do you have an app-reference field that relates the expense app and the projects app? If so, this is totally doable using JavaScript.
If not, you could also try using a view. In your projects app you could sum project values by project category.
Best,

Hi Alex,
you simply add a calculation field to your app template and enter the JavaScript there. But be aware that this is server-side JavaScript, so not everything that is supported in a browser is available.
Here is a link to the Podio help article on calculations:
