How do I sum within the Formula Tool?

[_JAA_]

I don't see this addressed in previous questions. If I missed it, would you please direct me to that thread. 

I need to add Columns 1 & 2: 

Column 1	Column 2
5	2

Thanks in advance-

Hi @_JAA_ 

You can use the formula tool to do it:

Assuming they are not string fields, it is just [Column 1]+[Column 2]

Otherwise you could do ToNumber([Column 1])+ToNumber([Column 2])

Thank you! For whatever reason, I was under the impression that would generate a concatenated field.

It will if they are strings
