     Posted: 25 Feb 2010 at 10:20pm
I need help in summing the values in a field that is seperated by commas.    The numbers are stored as string so I think I will need to convert the value to number after I have seperated each value.  For example:
2589.32,45897.12,4578,7893.03 =>(2589.32+45897.12+4578 +7893.03) =60957.47  
1235.02 ,45933.12,0,0,0,0,10.05 => (1235.02+45933.12+0+0+0+0+10.05) =47190.07
how would you suggest i go about creating a function to get the sum of each field?  do crystal have a built in function that i could use to calculate this for me?
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

Do the fields always have the same number of entries?
 
If so, I would use the split function. So something like this:
 
cdbl(split({table.field}, ',' )[1])
+
cdbl(split({table.field}, ',')[2])
+ etc.......
 
If they don't, I'm not really sure. Maybe someone else could answer that.

Yes, the fields always have the number of entries.   Do I need to write it in the form of a function or just how it posted in your response?
 
Thanks for your help Smile

You can write it just like I have it, being sure to account for all numbers in the field.
