Examples
An Invoice table has a portal showing line items.
Sum(LineItems::ExtendedPrice) totals the amounts for all items on the invoice.
A TimeBilling table has a portal showing time worked on a project. Hours is a time field.
Sum(Hours::BillableHours) returns the total number of billable hours on a project. Thus, if the
portal shows 40 hours and 15:30 hours, the total billable hours are 55:30, or 55 1/2 hours.
In the following examples:
Field1 contains two repetitions with values of 1 and 2.
Field2 contains four repetitions with values of 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Field3 contains 6.
If the calculation result isn’t a repeating field:
Sum(Field2) returns 26.
Sum(Field1;Field2;Field3) returns 12.
If the calculation result is a repeating field:
Sum(Field2) returns a repeating field with 26 in the first repetition.
Sum(Field1;Field2;Field3) returns a repeating field with 12, 8, 7, 8.
Note When a referenced field is a repeating field, the Sum function returns the sum of the first
repetition field, then the sum of the second repetition field, and so on.
