Apply Calculations to Selected Records AGOL Calculator

As the title implies, when using the ArcGIS OnLine calculator it would be nice to apply calculations to selected records only.

I agree it would be useful and intuitive to be able to calculate selected records from the item details/data/table view page (and also from the attribute table in the map view).

A workaround that I just tested works as follows:

on the item details/visualization page, set a filter to define the records you want to calculate. Save the layer.
Then go back to the data/table view, and you will see only the filtered records. You're then able to calculate only the filtered records.
You can then go back to the visualization page to remove or change your filter.
Somewhat clunky but it works and can be faster if you have a lot of records requiring updates to values. You might want to add/use a test field to ensure results are as you expect.

Yes please! It is quite clunky and a significant hurdle for teaching non-GIS folks to do very basic tasks, like tagging a "done" field for records that have been downloaded and post-processed.
