Can you use automations, webhooks or even formulas to do that? It seems like you can use some of QuickBase's native features to do this. If you're using a result from one field into another, you still have to query the database in order to grab that data and present it in another field. Can you give more detail into what you're actually trying to accomplish? Perhaps a more concrete example.

Currently, I want to create a cumulative sum field based on a field in the table. Please check the example below. 
Movie name Collections Actor Name Cumulative sum
One Night    10   Williams    10
At the call center    25   Williams    35
Kumbalangi    20   Jason    20
Roja    30   Williams    65
Chichore    15   Jason    35
Here the cumulative sum is based on the field name - "Actors name". Based on the field - "actors name" the value in collections are added cumulatively. I hope you understood the example.
I can easily do this through python. But I'm confused about how to do this in QuickBase through python.
