Hi Graham,
Thank you for the response.
When I use the following formula I get a Syntax error:
={MERGEFIELDMembership_Dues_Amount}+{MERGEFIELDDiv ision_Dues_Amount_Membership}+{MERGEFIELDStandards }+{MERGEFIELDISA_Transactions}+{MERGEFIELDAirmail} +{MERGEFIELDDonations}
I did not create this document or insert the fields. They were there when I
got it and I was asked if they can be totaled in a seperate cell in the table
(each field has its own cell). Currently the merge fields are bracketed with
a and .

The brackets indicate fields - in this case your mergefields. If you are
assembling fields from the keyboard rather than inserting them, you create
each pair of brackets with CTRL+F9. Change the fieldnames to those in your
data file.

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.

Use the following type of field construction
{ = { MERGFIELD Field1name } + { MERGEFIELD Field2Name } + ....... }

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.
