Sum

In most cases, this will be the total within a field of numerical data, though you might also want to sum a filtered subset of numbers or a list of numbers provided by you, e.g. as an array [2,7,8,3]. All the sum functions below will allow you to choose either a set of numerical values or specify your own.

Excel

=~SUM!~(‹number_array›) =~SUM!~(‹number1›«, number2», «numberN»)

=SUM(A:A)
// OR
=SUM(2,7,8,3) // Returns 20

Tableau

~SUM!~(‹measure›)

SUM([Sales])

Alteryx

Use the Summarize tool (in the Transform palette):

(group by field, sum by measure).

OrgVue

‹measure›.~sum!~; ‹number_array›.~sum!~;

nodes().sales.sum
// OR
array(2,7,8,3).sum // Returns 20

tSQL

~SUM!~(‹measure›)

SELECT SUM(sales)
FROM SalesData

Python

~sum!~(‹number_array›)

sum([2,7,8,3]) # Returns 20
