Can the Formula column read data from the column summary?

The Formula column in $Monday.com is designed to perform calculations or manipulate text based on the data contained within other columns in a board. However, it does not have the capability to read data from the column summary directly. Column summaries provide a high-level overview of the data (for example, sums, averages, or counts) displayed at the column header level, but not as individual data points that can be referenced in a Formula column.

This feature emphasizes the separation between calculated values and the summaries of those values, ensuring that users can create dynamic calculations based on row-level data rather than summary-level data, which could lead to misunderstandings or errors in application. Therefore, the answer that the Formula column cannot read data from the column summary is accurately reflected in the choice provided.
