Hello Rohnak! Welcome to the community. :slight_smile:

The best way to calculate sums of columns in Grist is with summary tables.

Tl;dr:

Click on Add New > Select either New Page or Add Widget to Page > Select the table you wish to summarize > Click the sigma icon (ÎŁ) to summarize the table > (Optional) Select one or more columns by which to group data.

In the summary table, all numeric columns are automatically summed. You’ll also receive a “count” column by default which counts the total number of records in each group.
