    PI Vision 2020 introduces new capabilities that allow users to create calculations on the fly within PI Vision displays based on PI tags. See a demo of these capabilities on our YouTube learning channel: https://youtu.be/tPYI5wYQBdI For additional information on PI Vision 2020, please see the release announcement here: https://customers.osisoft.com/s/knowledgearticle?knowledgeArticleUrl=000031641

    Users would like to trend using expressions such as TagA + TagB, without creating performance equations or AF analyses.

    Could we apply some basic calculations (A+B) on the fly for the traces that are on the trend? We are interested in having this done on the user side rather the server side.

    If we can trend expressions, it should take care of this user voice, trend constant https://feedback.osisoft.com/forums/320517-pi-coresight/suggestions/17047489-trend-control-limits-lines

    Provide the ability to perform calculations in a trend.  Similar to the data sets in ProcessBook.

    This would be very useful for us. Any updates yet?

    This is the first thing my users ask me about, and then, they are rather disappointed to learn that PI Vision has no such capabilities. It would certainly be very very very useful feature. Please start developing this into PI Vision!

    Add the ability to perform expressions directly in PI Vision. For example, easily trend the sum of two tags. This was a very useful feature with PHD / Uniformance Process Studio that I'm losing with the conversion to PI!!!

    Enable the ability for simple math operators to create values or trends. i.e. Trend tag A - tag B, display the Value of tag C + Tag D + tag E, trend tag F / Tag G.

    Is there a way to do calculated values in PI Vision displays.

    It would be convenient to be able to do calclulations (like datasets in pdi) in a display. For example while im searching a tag a calculation window could pop out (with the basic calcs..'+','-','*',"/" ) and then i can just  drag/drop the tag,search for another tag drag/drop it and make the numerical operation!

    General users need the ability to create ad-hoc calcs without the need to access to AF to generate attributes.

    Users very need to use the simplest calculation (sum etc.) without the AF and generated attributes.

    Simple calculations needs to be on PI Vision. Most calculations we do in PI AF but basic users who just want to create a simple display are now limited to the attributes provided. This makes it frustrating for users when just wanting to do a simple sum...

    I agree. My users build their own Vision displays. Let's say my user wants to sum up pump flows to get a total pumpage. The users cannot do this on their own. It requires admins to build expressions in AF or Data Archive.

    Input coming from Enel - need described as: capability to perform simple operation on Tags that means + - : x; creation of simple alert with notification, overall emails or mobile text message

    Ad Hoc Calculations Simular to the Dataset in Process Book would be very useful.

    For the trend, add the ProcessBook Datasets concept or custom expressions i.e. Where some condition is true or average of the values. Conditional views in PI Vision displays. Like event frame (start-time and end-time) but on the fly (as needed).
