Sum across multiple Columns on a single row

I cannot figure out why my formula is producing a [NULL] instead of the desired output. Below is example of workflow:

 

Formula for 'Device Count' field:

 

[0DR]+[2DR]+[6DR]+[SIM]+[DIM]+[PAS]+[7DR]+[STO]+[DTO]+[HTO]+[RRM]+[SRM]

 

(All of these fields are double)

 

Here is an example of the data:

 

Ship ToShip To Name0DR2DR6DRSIMDIMPAS7DRSTODTOHTORRMSRMDevice Count
XXXXXX 215  967   11 
XXXXXX 214  58151   
XXXXXX  1          
XXXXXX 617  1311132  21

Hi @Levin

 

The reason you are getting Null in the results is because your numeric fields have a 'null' in them. This means there is no numeric data in that cell. To get the correct summation I would suggest replacing these 'null' values with a 0. You can do this by inserting a Data Cleansing or Imputation tool before your formula tool.
