Default Perform mathematical calculations with merge fields

Is this a continuation of the original thread under which it appears or a
new and different situation.

You need to give full information of what you are starting with and what you
want to achieve if you want to get assistance that will lead to a solution
of your problem. Sometimes, just describing the way that you have going
about trying to achieve something is not sufficient, particularly when, with
the full knowledge of what it is, that turns out to either an inappropriate,
or at least not the best method of going about it.

Hi,
I've been smashing my head against the cube wall for the past few days
trying to get a calculation out of the mail merge fields I have set up in
a
table. I have harnessed the power of =SUM(ABOVE) to get my Grand Total,
and
I also discovered the Bookmark function so that the users can enter in the
number of years the deal is for and have used that number for
calculations.
But in order to express the Total for each product, I can't seem to figure
out a way to take the Bookmarked quantity number and multiply it by the
Unit
Price without getting an error message during the merge.
