Formula in Word Table
I am trying to create a formula that will span multipule tables, I am running
a merge option that will create duplicate tables within a word document with the following formula at the end of each table =sum(b3)+(b4)+(b5). My problem comes in that I never know how many tables will be created and I need to add all of these totals together from each table to create a Grand Total. What formula would I use to add all the tables together, the cell that I would need to add in each table is b6 |

Formula in Word Table
I would use a macro containing the following code:
Dim i As Long, total As Double Dim rsum As Range total = 0 With ActiveDocument For i = 1 To .Tables.Count Set rsum = .Tables(i).Cell(6, 2).Range rsum.End = rsum.End - 1 If IsNumeric(rsum.Text) Then total = total + rsum.Text End If Next i End With MsgBox "The total of all cells B6 is " & total -- Hope this helps.

Dear Doug,
Thanks for the Macro, would it possible to make the macro automatically place the Words "Grand Total" and the calculated amount after the last table rather than a message box As it is a macro should I create a shortcut key for the users to press when they want to run it as it should only be run after the merge?

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("GrandTotal").Select Selection = "R" & total I was not able to force the decimal place to be 2 characters only though, so will keep on wotking on that "Stuart Mattinson" wrote: Dear Doug, Thanks for the Macro, would it possible to make the macro automatically place the Words "Grand Total" and the calculated amount after the last table rather than a message box As it is a macro should I create a shortcut key for the users to press when they want to run it as it should only be run after the merge?
