Hi,

 

Here is my scenario:

 

I would like to Query list and return certain numbers into a collection variable and add all the numbers in the collection variable and store the resulting sum in a variable.

 

Is this possible? if so, how?

 

Please help.

Hi

Once you have the collection from Query action, create a For Each loop. Create a variable called varSum of type number. 

Inside loop (for each number in the collection), Add Math function. It would look like this: 

Workflow variable varSum + num (from collection) , save in varSum.

When the loop finishes you will have the sum of all numbers. Hope that helps.

Hi, I have a list with a category column. I need to add values of few column in the list as per category. I don't think using foreach is a good idea as there are 8 to 10 categories, Is there any way I can add all the items in a collections ?
