Add simple counts/totals/averages to search views
When OpenERP users need a precise summary information, it is often a very simple one and writting a report object is both too long and overkill. For example, how many product X have we shipped to customer Y between 2010-01-01 and 2010-01-07, and what was the average unit price?
For the moment a user's best move is to search for the records in OpenERP, export them to Excel and do the sums and averages there.
It would be nice if we could just add a few tag in the search view definition, and OpenERP could compute these simple sums/averages and show them at the bottom of the screen.

Tree views can actually already have a sum displayed on the bottom of the view : add the sum attribute to each field you want summed.
Example in invoice tree view:
It would be nice if we could have other operations : average, arithmetic product, biggest value, smallest value etc.
Please file a wishlist bug reports for each operation wanted and attach to this blueprint.
