    Calculated Field


    So I have two columns as follows..

    A B
    1 4
    6 3
    2 0

    Now I added an extra column in a query so that column shows the total of A and B per row but instead of add them it does this..

    C
    14
    63
    29

    So it looks put the numbers from column A and B together but do not add them. I typed this on the as the calculated field.

    C: [A]+[B]

    What is causing this problem?

    Please help and thank you in advance!

    It think it should be C:=[a]+[b]

    I'm not totally sure as I don't usually use 2007 (2003 mostly)
    Please post back and let us all know how you get on!

    Thank you!

    My mistake was that column A and B were text data type instead of number data type.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
