Adding 3 columns together to get a total to show on a card

Hello,


WE are trying to track how much work is contracted out. All numbers that start with 1 in STEP 1, 2, 3 belong to our company everything us else is contracted out. We would like to count everything that does not start with 1 so it can be shown on a card.

Then you should add that condition to the formula, it would look something like:

TOTAL = IF(ISBLANK(STEP1)=TRUE,0,IF(LEFT(STEP1,1)="1",0,1))+IF(ISBLANK(STEP2)=TRUE,0,IF(LEFT(STEP2,1)="1",0,1))+IF(ISBLANK(STEP3)=TRUE,0,IF(LEFT(STEP3,1)="1",0,1))

 

Let me know if it works

I'm not sure if I follow, but I think you can calculate that as a column by means of a formula like: TOTAL = IF(LEFT(STEP1,1)="1",0,1)+IF(LEFT(STEP2,1)="1",0,1)+IF(LEFT(STEP3,1)="1",0,1)

 

This will give you the sum in the total field of subcontracted steps per trip

 

 

Hey @alexvc  this works well but I forgot to ask can we have blanks not be included in the sum but rather be treated as our drivers who start with 1. I tried to change it myself but failed.
