Always nice when part of the solution is in the topic name ;)

Of course, we're summing across many columns here, but the solution is to make many rows with the transpose tool and then sum across many rows:

One remark: I took the quick way out for the rename action of the percentage columns, since the unique identifier for all columns was 4 characters long. Otherwise, a regex or character function would be needed to determine the length of that identifier string.
