Summarizing in database worksheet


Recommended Posts

I've created a report for a window schedule and have several instances of the same type and size of window which have the same ID. I'm using the WinDoor plug-in, by the way. Rather than have a long schedule with multiple rows of repeating information, I want to summarize identical windows, so I drag the "SUM" icon into the ID column and the IDs summarize fine, but the dimensions columns, one each for width and height and formated as dimensions, add up the dimensions. So if I have two windows labeled W01 that are 2'0"x2'0", the summary will show the W01 window with a dimension of 4'0"x4'0".

Any way around this? TIA

Islmon is talking about the data base header...the formulas at the top of the columns. This will give you the total number of each identical....if summarized correctly.

You can have up to 3 'sum' widgets. If you have one in name and one in each of the dimension columns I think you'll get what you're after. I would think it helpful to have a count column as well.
