I need to add up the inventory for each of these warehouses together. There is also a field in the database called WarehouseNo. To make things even more slippery the values of the InvOnHand field looks something like this: +0000616. That's not really a problem though because I can do something like this [math](+0000511)+(+0000330)[/math] and WebCat returns 841 (taking out the + sign and the extra zeros. That's nice.So with the above code I put parenthesis around [InvOnHand] but it still didn't work. Now I've also tried doing something really complicated like:[math] [search db=MeriselInv.txt&eqSKUdatarq=95654&eqWarehouseNodatarq=11] [founditems] ([InvOnHand]) [/founditems] [/search] + [search db=MeriselInv.txt&eqSKUdatarq=95654&eqWarehouseNodatarq=13] [founditems] ([InvOnHand]) [/founditems] [/search] + [search db=MeriselInv.txt&eqSKUdatarq=95654&eqWarehouseNodatarq=14] [founditems] ([InvOnHand]) [/founditems] [/search] + [search db=MeriselInv.txt&eqSKUdatarq=95654&eqWarehouseNodatarq=15] [founditems] ([InvOnHand]) [/founditems] [/search] [/math]Which works fine as long as every wherehouse carries the particular sku but there are instances in the data base where a sku will not have a corresponding warehouse, number 15 for example. So the last part of the above code returns nothing which then messes up the math function.I like the code at the very top though and would rather use something like that. Any more ideas?Again, just to sum up (pun intended) what I'm trying to do - I have a search that returns mulitple entries from one field (all numbers) and I'd like to add all those values together. :)Thanks BrantHoward Wolosky wrote:> simple: > define [math show=f]TotalCount=0[/math] > before your search. > > In the founditems, define: > [math show=f]TotalCount=TotalCount+[fieldname][/math] > > you're done > > -howard > > On Mon, 15 Feb 1999, es-sleestak wrote: > > > I have a search that returns mulitple entries from one field (all > > numbers) and I'd like to add all those values together.
