Thank you for a prompt response. I tried that by now my TotalSpent variable shows each individual expense next to the other in an continuous string: 100100100200100300100 ....instead of the mathematical sum of those amounts. Is that related to the GROUP part? What does the GROUP BY do in this case (I'm assuming it is not related to the GROUP that you use to arrange output)?
