Add calculated pens (sum of two pens, difference of two pens, etc) to Perspective Power Chart

I have two tags with history configured, TagA and TagB. I have a Power Chart in Perspective that I have added both tags to. Is there a way to configure a tag on the Power Chart TagC = TagA+TagB without configuring TagC as an expression tag with its own history?

I'm looking to have similar functionality to the Calculated Pens available in the Easy Chart component in Vision

+1 for this feature, and another similar need would be a shifted tag: in order to compare for the same value a week and the previous week on the same chart

+1 here as well. On the Vision Easy Chart we often use the calculated pens feature and there doesn't seem to be a way to even roll your own with the Perspective Power Chart as the underlying datasets for each pen are not exposed.

Any updates on this?

I have multiple tags on power chart.
I have a need to divide each tag by a number.

What is the long version to do this (without using expression tag)? Is it even possible for power charts?

Edit:
Would this work?
I would bind a property to a direct tag,
on property change, I would do computation on the fly and write to a tag..
(I need to do computation on the fly, so I can't create expression initially)
