Additional calculations with summary stats

[wvp3]

Is there any way to coerce the summary statistics into numeric so that additional calculations can be made on them? For example, one summary statistic as a proportion of the other?

I also had trouble understanding from your code how the output of, for example:

summarywidget(shared_dataset, statistic='sum', column='value', digits=0)

can be displayed in line with a block of descriptive text, especially in Shiny UI. For example, if we wanted to concatenate (paste) other text together to add context to the number that is output from the snippet above. Currently I can only figure out how to render the output number by itself.

Thanks!
