Hi ale, thanks for replying. I have attached the two file links: https://drive.google.com/a/resispecifier.com/file/d/0B19Q0FpByRPGSGJDTlRIeHp zVTg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/a/resispecifier.com/file/d/0B19Q0FpByRPGWFh3UzZZZC0 xY1k/view?usp=sharing
The problem area is the table on page 5 - DESIGN SPECIFICATION PROJECT SUMMARY. I have highlighted the problem field with a red arrow (column "Difference from Budget"). This is a summary table where I would like to sum all the relevant fields (marked with red arrows in the document), to give an overview of the project budget. In the pdf file, I have populated some calculation fields on page 6, as an example. The total value in the Difference from Budget column on page 5, should be "2" and not "0". I cannot work out why it isn't calculating correctly. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
