Finding total value

wallie32 · Oct 28, 2007

I am a newcomer to Filemaker and would like to ask a question regarding how to find the total value of a number of fields.
The file concerned has 10 Amount fields and I want to find the total value of them all.
Am I right in thinking that the Sum function will do this?
If so I would like to know how to use it.

Thanks for any help on this.

Jack,

If you're trying to sum up some values all within the same record you will probably jusy want to create a new field (calculation type) and make the calculation something like:

Field1 + Field2 + Field3
