>From this example we're missing the group by clause, required since "type" is not an aggregate. Add: GROUP BY type to that query. If you just need the sum of a column from a query, without a breakdown, you can do an arraysum on the query column from CF: #arraysum(listtoarray(valuelist(qry.col1)))# I thought I remembered a way to reference a specific column from a query as an array directly, but it escapes me now.
