Let's assume we have a report of totals per day. For simplicity we show just for three days 2020/04/16, 2020/07/10, and 2020/11/16. Like so
> echo [[2020/04/16 2020/07/10 2020/11/16]; ['' 27 37]]
═══╦════════════╦════════════╦════════════
# ║ 2020/04/16 ║ 2020/07/10 ║ 2020/11/16
═══╬════════════╬════════════╬════════════
0 ║ ║ 27 ║ 37
═══╩════════════╩════════════╩════════════
In the future, the report now has many totals logged per day. In this example, we have 1 total for the day 2020/07/10 and 2020/11/16 like so
> echo [[2020/04/16 2020/07/10 2020/11/16]; ['' [27] [37]]]
═══╦════════════╦════════════════╦════════════════
# ║ 2020/04/16 ║ 2020/07/10 ║ 2020/11/16

0 ║ ║ [table 1 rows] ║ [table 1 rows]

We want to add two totals (numbers 33 and 37) for the day 2020/04/16
Set a table with two numbers for the empty column
> echo [[2020/04/16 2020/07/10 2020/11/16]; ['' [27] [37]]] | empty? 2020/04/16 { [33 37] }
═══╦════════════════╦════════════════╦════════════════
# ║ 2020/04/16 ║ 2020/07/10 ║ 2020/11/16
═══╬════════════════╬════════════════╬════════════════
0 ║ [table 2 rows] ║ [table 1 rows] ║ [table 1 rows]
═══╩════════════════╩════════════════╩════════════════
Checking all the numbers
> echo [[2020/04/16 2020/07/10 2020/11/16]; ['' [27] [37]]] | empty? 2020/04/16 { [33 37] } | pivot _ totals | get totals
