Calculating the sum total of multiple text controls

Hi,

if you use the following formula you can solve your issue:

sum([1,2,3,4,5])

it's similar to your fouth test but it has an array as argument (if you check the description of the sum function, you can see that it asks for a set of values inside brackets).

Perfecto! Thanks Giacomo!

This way to create arrays should be made more obvious in the documentation or description texts.

How would I do this when the number of rows will vary? Also, is there a way I can convert the total value into hours and minutes, e.g., 123 would equal 2 hours 3 minutes.

Thank you.

I haven't checked it but you could probably set "Convert empty string to null" under advanced to something like 0. Then it would calculate with that value.

To get the hours and minutes you just calculate hours and minutes seperatly. 

123 / 60 => you get the hours

123%60 => modulo will get you the minutes

You can write both like this into a calculated value field and get the result imidiatly.

Hi Giacomo,

I'm also facing same type of issue while adding 2 number columns in Nintex calculation value not working due to language issue. My site is in french(Sweden) due to that sum not working. Please help with work around.

Ex: In Formula

sum([projectYear,1]) 

Project Year (Number column) value display as "2 018" space created due to language issue.

Hi,

could you change your calculated field to show the result as text instead of number?

It's already used in so many places i can't change the type to text now. Is there any other workaround for this?
