Getting the sum of a field - 3/26/2001 23:41:00   
I have a field named "Price". If there are numerous records, I would like to get a grand total for all the individual prices.

Do I need to set up a new database to achieve this? Is there an asp code I can use based on the database results <%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"price")%> (these are the individual record prices)?

I did a search and found <%SumTotal = SumTotal & FPField_val("Price")%>,but it didn't work.

My SQL book says SELECT SUM(Price) from ad_proposal but the DRW doesn't even create a results field.

Hmmmm?

Try :

<%SumTotal = SumTotal + cInt(FPField_val("Price"))%>

There are numbers in the field, listed as "numeric" on the SQL table, not text.

Oh sorry
How about this one?

FPField_val is the actual correct function code? or is it FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"price")?

<%
RowTotal = FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"price")
SumTotal = SumTotal + RowTotal

%>

No, nothing is appearing at all. No error message, just blank (Prices are filled in, should total $500).

On top of that if, I have moved the last of the three "include statements" below my PayPal button to stop the :

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'rs'

/_fpclass/fpdblib.inc, line 12

error.

But, now when database reults are greater than 1 record, my whole dtatbase is reconfigured all wacky, so this is another question. I also need to use this "sum statement" outside of the database include statements.

I hope I am phrasing this correctly!

Thanks again

You are writing SumTotal on the page somewhere?

That can be placed anywhere outside (below) the DRW

<%=SumTotal%>

RE: Getting the sum of a field - 3/29/2001 20:35:00   
But I am still just getting a blank response from

<%
RowTotal = FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"price")
SumTotal = SumTotal + RowTotal

%>

There definitely are NUMBERS in my price field (not text)

If you write
<%= FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"price")%>
You must get a price

If you write
<%
RowTotal = FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"price")
Response.write RowTotal
%>
You must get the same value

Now the same theory applies
<%
RowTotal = FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"price")
SumTotal = SumTotal + RowTotal
%>

Are you writing them somewhere or how do you tell they are blank?
