I would be fantastic if it was possible to use feeds in place of inputs in calculations. In many situations there is a way of working around this by using and reusing inputs but sometimes it is not possible to use a raw input value.
Using feed values would make emonCMS so much more versatile and probally more efficient if the processing could use the previously calculated values again rather than redoing the same calcs from scratch in another inputs processing, it would also make the processing easier to read & develop.

Re: EmonCMS feature request to use feed values in input calculation processes
Just to add an additional thought, If the number of choices in the calculation process dropdown box is a concideration ie not wanting too many choices etc the add, multiply and divide by feed could replace the current by input options as most inputs that are likely to be used in calcs are logged to a feed anyway, and with floats input as integers this would eliminate the addition x100 or /10 etc every time the input value is used once the input is corrected and logged to a feed it would be available in its decimal form .

It's really good to see this has now been implemented in v8.0.3, following a discussion here
Thanks guys
