Hello I am pretty new to FileMaker and do not know how to make a sum field.

This is what I have and want to do.

I created a Employee database with fields like name, last name position ect...

What I want is a field that is called TOTAL Employees. How can I get that field to output the total employees that are entered in the database?

Remember I am really new to FM so I don't know much about Calc fields.

Hope this is clear enough.

Thanks,

Jay

Hi. Create your field, make it a summary field.

then choose Count and one of your fields that will always be entered into (such as a serial number field)

This will give you the count of the employees.

you can do this through a calculation field too.

count (your field)
