If you know some php and you need to save some data in a field taken from other nodes or fields, perform operations (of any kind) this is a must have module. The latest version made a lot easier this module and there's quite a few snippets to get you started.
This module can solve a lot of problems when trying to do something weird with fields and nodes.
We first started playing with this module recently because we needed to automate some basic accounting tables on a new site for a client. We started porting the 5.x version to 6.x, and got far enough to be impressed with its efficacy but frustrated by its feature limitations, when suddenly a 6.x version was released that included most of the features we'd been wanting. Yay! Give it a try.
I use it for simple, content dependent display of various fields. But the examples here show, that you could do much more. It's simple to set up and running. Of course, you need to know some php basics to calculate the fields, but following just the examples, even a novice can use it.
