Solution 1

Yes this is possible :

Use the following SQL statement :

SELECT Sum(TotalPrice) FROM TableName

This will return a single value containing the sum of all values in the TotalPrice columns.

Good luck!

Hi Eduard,
Thank you for your quick answer.
I tried that but I don't have a lot of luck.
I'm new to the programming so please let me know where exactly should I put this code.
Thank you again.
Peter

Solution 3

Do you have the data in the database or do you want to calculate the total based on the values currently in a datagridviewcolumn?

If it's the latter, the next question is where the data is coming from? If it's for example from a DataTable, then you could use Compute[^] method.

I have data in Access database.
For example,
When I load Form1 there is no data in the database.
When I click AddNew Button, some info is saved in the database.
One of the columns is TotalPrice.
I want to be able to see in Label1 the amount of all of the prices combine from column TotalPrice.
When I Delete some of the data from the database, the amount to be automatically deduct from Label1.

Ok, in that case, if you use OleDB connection, the fastest way is to use ExecuteScalar method. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.oledb.oledbcommand.executescalar.aspx. There's actually almost complete example for you to use (select total amount of regions). You can use this every time a modification is made.

However, keep in mind that if there are multiple users modifying the data, then you wont see new results immediately when somebody else makes a modification. You'll get the new results (the sum of total price) when you make modifications in the application you use.

Thanks for the info,
but I can't make it work.
As I said I'm new to this world.
Thanks again.

If you tried the example behind the link I provided and it doesn't work, update the post and include the problem you have. Otherwise we're just guessing what your problem could be.

Ok Mika,
Thanks.

No problem. And if you get stuck, you can open a new question and include the code you've done so far. I'll bet you'll get lots of quality answers. Good luck :)
