Does Fibery have inline formulas (like Coda?)
Not yet, but it should!

- link entity → take property → for dynamical number for example
- hide entity name to have only a number/value, a small effect, backgroud or other to differentiate
Not sure I understand what you mean. Can you explain more, maybe with a screen grabs or sketches
I could be off-base so this might all be off-topic. 
That said I believe what they might want is something like an in-line field display from a linked entity, which is something I’ve wanted before (and which I believe Coda can do, and is very powerful). Right now when you link to an entity A: You can’t not display the name, B: the displayed field contents/values are the same for every link to that type of Entity/Database. The latter makes a lot of sense in general, and the former somewhat too. But it would be great if there was some other way of linking/referencing an Entity in-line with more power/flexibility as far as what data is drawn from that Entity.
So for a simple (and perhaps not very compelling, but at least functional) example I am writing a report document to share with my team at the end of the month. I have a Sprint Entity that counts all Tasks in Done state. Normally I would just put a placeholder like “We completed XX tasks in our sprint this month, good job!” or whatever. Then at the end of the month before I share it, I go and update that value manually. What if I could just link to #sprint-abc and select to only display the “Tasks Completed” field? It would display like any other Field in a Linked Entity does now, but for this one instance it would only display that one Field Value, and it would of course update dynamically as the Entity itself changes.

Your example sounds a lot like this, right?

Yes, similar, but not necessarily the same. That’s in-line formulas, which Coda can do and essentially supports the feature request here (as I see it), but also a lot more. I guess I’d consider that one to be a parent feature of this one in a sense, in that you could implement this one with the functionality of that one, but this here could be a smaller-scoped request (or maybe not, I don’t know how the code works). Also I could be totally wrong about this one. 
Look forward to hearing what @Mathieu_24 has to say

Yes, that’s it. Like Coda.
I love fibery really powerful but still some limitations on documents block us / formula in doc.
Example: insert a column formula from an entity.

Yes its same. Or possibility hide entity name

Coincidentally, we had a discussion about this feature last week, but demand is low, like 3-5 requests in the last 3 years, so not a high priority for us so far… Implementation also has some problems due to permissions/access.
