Add a feature to calculate field values in attribut tables #10302

Author Name: Gavin Macaulay - (Gavin Macaulay -) Can you provide some more details on what you mean? |
Author Name: Redmine Admin (Redmine Admin) Often I need to calculate new field values based on existing layer attribute table fields. For this issue it would be great if I do have a field calculator. Think about the following situation:
Please let me know whether my details do explain my idea. |

Author Name: Paolo Cavallini (@pcav) Looks like you want to reimplement a spreadsheet within QGIS? This can be done eg in OOo, the issue could be how to recall a spreadsheet easily (single-click) from QGIS? |

It's not the idea to reimplement a spreadsheet! But it is very helpful to calculate new column values. P.e. for Classification of objects. The first part of my request, add a new column, is realised (PostGIS Layer) |

Although it can be done in a spreadsheet, it would be very useful enabling it within QGIS. Otherwise it's necessary to remove the layer/close project->open dbf in OOo->edit and save->reload in QGIS/reopen project->rearrange simbology (if you don't have it saved), which is a very annoying process. |
Author Name: Paolo Cavallini (@pcav) Isn't this implemented as a python plugin? Should we close this? |

Author Name: Paolo Cavallini (@pcav) Table Manager, by Borys. Please check whether it has the functions you need. |
Author Name: cdavilam - (cdavilam -) No, it has a Calculate button, but currently not functional (to be implemented...) |
Author Name: Borys Jurgiel (@borysiasty) Exactly. It's on very hign position on my TODO list, but I haven't touch it yet. I'll do my best to implement it in February. |
Author Name: Giovanni Manghi (@gioman) I would like also to see this feature implemented, not only because I think is useful, but also because -the missing of this tool- is one of that things that (other software) users do notice when using for the first time QGis. |

Author Name: Martin Dobias (@wonder-sk) What operations and functions should such field calculator support? |

I know that make comparisons it is always bad, but (if you want to stay out of the arc* playground) I would suggest to have a look at the "field calculator" of gvSIG. It has many commands, every one has his own short description, so you may want to have a look to the program (I cannot find references of all the commands, not even in the manual, pag. 220 [ftp://downloads.gvsig.org/gva/descargas/manuales/gvSIG-1_1-man-v1-en.pdf here]). See the attached image. Among the others you can calculate areas, perimeters and lenghts without having to create a new shapefile like ftools requires. Command list:
