Keeping a Running Total for Formula fields

Question

CA Forum: Formula
I've been messing around for the past couple of days trying to figure out what the best approach for my problem.  So here is what I'm trying to accomplish.  I have multiple rows which contains sums for different columns and one of the columns contains the maximum of the sums. 
For example:
ROW 1           SUM (A)             SUM(B)             SUM(C)            MAX(sum(a), sum(b), sum(c))<----
Formula Variable 1
ROW 2           SUM (A)             SUM(B)             SUM(C)            MAX(sum(a), sum(b), sum(c))<----
Formula Variable 2
ROW Total      SUM (1A2A)     SUM(1B2B)     SUM(1C+2C)     Result of Row 1 + Result of Row 2
What I did was create a formula variable that evaluates the maximum of those rows and have a summary row, that keeps a running total.  I'm not sure how to store the result of that formula variable in the running total since the formula variable isn't an option to select.  Does anyone have a suggestions if this is a good approach or if there's another way to approach it?

Answer 1

For each value you enter into scores.text, end it with a
+"\n"
as in...
scores.text = String(1100) + "\n";
scores.text += String(2200) + "\n";
scores.text += String(1500) + "\n";
