    How do you create a textbox summing the entire field?


    I am trying to create a field in my report where it displays the sum of an entire column. I tried to use the =Sum([Field]) function, but it is displaying an error in my report.

    I presume you used the actual name of the field, which is not [Field]?

    What section did you put the textbox in?

    Yes. I used the actual name of the field. I put the text box in the footer.

    That image doesn't show error.

    If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.
