Calculate Total In Repeat Region

Question

Hi,
I need to calculate a total based on fields in a repeat
region, these values
are stored in an SQL db, all are numeric and written in ASP.
fields are
TOTAL_COST VAT GRANDTOTAL (Page selects records based on
field parameter and displays in a repeat region)
At bottom of page need to show total sum like
TOTAL_COST(sum of above)
VAT(sum of above)
GRANDTOTAL(sum of above)
Thanks in advance
Simon

Answer 1

Above your repeat region declare three values like this
<%
Dim TCost = 0
Dim VAT=0
Dim GTotal = 0
%>
Then inside the repeat region simply have a line like this
<%
TCost = TCost + recordset.fields.item("cost").value
%>
Finally where you want the numbers to display you would have
the following
calculations
<%
VAT = TCost * .01
GTotal = TCost + VAT
%>
