Sum of Qty, per Item

KSassone

I need to create a formula to Sum the Qty, per item and my attempts to date have not worked.  My end results (600) will be added to a new column with the total Qty per Item.  Any assistance very much appreciated !  I will continue to look for other tools in the toolbox in the meantime !

You would use a summarize tool to get the total quantity, and then you can use a join tool to bring this into the full population. 

 

Use the item as a group by, and the quantity as sum. See attached for an example.

I would recommend using the summarize tool to fins the sum of Qty per Item. Then use the join tool to attach it as a new column using the Item as a unique identifier.

 

Here is a screenshot of my workflow and results:

And here is a screenshot of how I have the summarize tool configured (only the Item and Qty need to be included in the actions section):

Let me know if you have any questions! Workflow attached as well.
