Default Can I total data brought in from an external data source?

Thank you, Doug! I'll give it a shot. Am I removing the { in your formula, or
are the mergefield fieldnames bracketed like that in the formula?

Thanks,
Nick.

I have a document that includes merge data (in the form of dollar amounts)
in
fields which are in a table. I would like to total those dollar amounts at
the bottom of the table. I tried using the sum function, but could not get
the formula function to recognize the merge fields.

Is this possible to do? And if so, how?

Thanks,
Nick.
