G’day So my app extracts and uses data populated in Airtable, all working well. Airtable has a summary row at the bottom of the fields… question; can I lift this data into my app? or do I have to pull airtable down into a list and then sum the list? Thanks in advance. ![Screenshot from 2021-01-18 13-10-42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/5/8509ce4f1fdf4e0a784c733ecae7a942509a276f.png) ---

Ok guess that’s not possible then. So alternatively I’m trying to create a list from an airtable column, then I’ll sum the list I’ve create. If a cell does not have data (number) in it… do I have to do some kind of verification/validation to prevent a an error in the list such as NaN? ![Screenshot from 2021-01-22 12-37-15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/0/80fb0739f738d8a29dd2ab85e1232e991f59f421.png) ---

Use this component ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/6/e6af9dc6208b52b2fc5e7f1660b77ed055bc31d7.png) It will get all values in the selected column and assign it to a list variable. From the List drawer you can use ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/1/115cf7f2362c34b556b8be34166cbf6d92009f44.png) To get the total of that column in the table. You can then repeat the same for each column you want to get it’s total. ---

Hi Muneer, Nice, yes this is much cleaner and does appear to form a list of the numbers… my next problem is that the “sum of list” function does not appear to add add the numbers together and give a sum value. When called it present the list of numbers in sequence…? The airtable column is formatted as Integer and the data entered are integer numbers. ---

Can you share the blocks or screen capture to understand the issue better ---
