# Show Summary

The **Show Summary** feature displays summary information at the bottom of data table columns, allowing users to quickly view key values at a glance. The summary aggregates data from each column to provide statistical information such as totals or averages. This is particularly useful for analyzing trends or key metrics in large datasets.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Summaries can only be configured for columns with number or currency data types.
