Good to know this one is working. I recently did a deep dive on these kinds of views aggregation and calculation features.
This looks similar to Views Aggregator Plus, but that one can only do single row aggregation results.
One pattern I am seeing is that the data is too tightly coupled with the display. I haven't looked at this module's code yet, but for example, Views Aggregator Plus handles the calculations in the display plugin. I would like to instead have views plugins that do the calculations and then provide variables that could be used in any display template. This is a tricky problem from a UX/DX perspective since views is quite complex under the hood. I also pondered what it would be like to integrate views with a library that can handle this on the front end, but it seems like a full stack solution is the best way to go, especially when handling pagers with dynamic sorts/filters.
Here's a collection of modules, issues, and notes related to the effort: https://contrib.drupalarchitect.info/task/advanced-views-calculations
I was attempting to build a financial/accounting dashboard, where these kinds of summaries would be nice.
