Summing values from inputs in a repeating group outside of the repeating group

Need help
1

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone is having a productive and great day!

I have a repeating group that calculates an activity’s estimated duration within each row of the repeating group. I would like to sum this value from each row of the repeating group in a header outside of the repeating group. This value would be cumulative as each activities estimated duration is collocated.

Here’s a screen shot of what I am trying to accomplish:

I want to have the value from the “Total activity minutes “within the repeating group (highlighted in yellow) show up in the “Total activity minutes forecasted” (also highlighted in yellow) outside of the repeating group.

Please help!

Thanks!

Since I once needed to do something similar, I used this plugin.

You can also do it using custom states.

For me, the easiest way I would do it is to save the values in the database, then you just sum the values easily where you want.

If you don’t want to do that, then you can also use a plugin. You can try this one, I think it does what you are looking for: Orchestra (repeating group addon) Plugin | Bubble

Hope that helps. :blush:

Thanks, I’ve tried it but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ll also need to have this information stored in the DB so it can be accessed later.

As I need to have these values in a database for retrieval at a later time, I’ll go with this approach. Thanks for the suggestion!

So @J805’s suggestion might be better.

And the inputs in the repeating group can be auto-binding, so you save them to the database, and in the places where you want to display the total, you just need to sum.

Just right click on the input and choose Start/Edit Workflow to save the value. :blush:
