Hi all
When using a list view to display the total on a column you can select the column you want the total to be calculated on, select the column tab in the properties window and select the add option next to sum.
Kind Regards

Will the sum be the total of what is visible in the list view, or across all data in the SmartObject?
For instance, if I have 1,200 rows in a SharePoint list, and the List View is showing 100, when I apply the Sum to the column will it give me a total across all 1,200 rows, or just 100?
I'd love to use SharePoint and not a SQL database with stored procedures for this (we have access to both) -- the proposed solution is very basic so SQL would be overkill. The most records we'd probably have is in the thousands.

Ans : It will show you only 100 (summary of only records on screen).
So, if you need to show summary of total records, you need to check out of paging of your list view (show all records) and maybe hide your list view on the form. This method may affected your form performance if you have a ton of records. I always use sql view / stored to summary the value and get it from SmartObject for better performance.
