Calc totals by categories

[Joseph31]

I know how to calc totals from a portal (the portal is associated by catergory -- but when happens when I do not want a portal I just want totals shown by category.

Example:

I have two pages 1)Recap_Page 2) Policy_Page (The Policy page is grouped by categories (Sent, Procesing, Closed)

I have a portal on the Recap_page associated by Catergory. I have totals that sum up a few fields on the policy page. I want some other categories totaled up on the recap_page with out using a portal.

Can someone show me how to write an calc or the sum fuction that can group all of the like categories together and them sum a field?

Thank you

You don't need a portal to total related data, you just need a calculated field, for example:

Sum( related::field )
