Sum fields crooss records

[Enuma]

this maybe is easy but i dont find how to do it

You need to create a relationship (or self-relationship). Then you can use that to target the field, and you will get the Sum() of the field for all records which match the relationship (from the context of where it is defined to calculate).

For example. If you created a self-relationship using the Cartesian operator (X), it would match all records. To sum all records:

Sum ( self_X::number )

This would be independent of the found set. If you want the sum of the field within a found set, then you would just use a regular Summary field, Total of number field.
