That’s because your Airtable column has text values so Thunkable can’t find a “sum” for them and it just joins them instead. Make the values numbers and try again. You can also sum the values in Airtable in a different column and just get that single value from Airtable in Thunkable. That’s faster.

I am unable to sum the values in a different column in Airtable. The Excel formula doesn’t work in Airtable, and I can’t figure out how to sum the values in a separate column.

That should be pretty easy to figure out. Google _airtable sum column_ or ask ChatGPT or another LLM.

I’ve been searching for the past 3 to 4 hours, but I couldn’t find anything about how to sum the values in a separate column in Airtable​:sweat:😓
