Hey @oreeldadln

There are a few examples of how to do this in the Community that you can find by searching for “[Sum List](http://community.thunkable.com/search?q=sum%20list)”

Here’s one that jumped out at me:

> [@How to sum numers from a list?](http://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-sum-numers-from-a-list/111583/23):
>
> The “sum of list” block works like this. If the list contains only values ​​of the numeric type, then they will be summed up. If in the list there is at least one element of string type, then the operation of joining strings will be performed, as if all elements of the list are strings. To sum up the string values ​​of numbers, you need to use a loop through the list with the conversion of string type numbers to numbers.

let me know whether or not that works for you.
