How to create a new table of an existing table?

Hello, I have the following problem. My table looks like this:

 

hxwean_0-1649498616319.png

 

I want to sum all the entries of the column "total secounds" with the same value in "Kalenderwoche copy". The different sum should be saved in a new table. Does someone know how to do this?

 

Thank you very much!

Here is how I did it:

1) Right Click in the Query area > New Query > Blank Query:

2) write your table name into the bar

Thank you for your response. @tackytechtom  My table is called "Abzug KW". Unfortunately, I get an error meassage when I type it in the bar: = Abzug KW

 

I think, the error is because of the space in the name of the table. Do you know how to fix that?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You should be able to use the syntax as #"Abzug KW"  to refer to the table. Alternatively, you can right click on the table Abzug KW in the query pane and then press "Duplicate" as @mussaenda  suggested 🙂

 

Please, let me know if this helps!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try using reference instead of starting from blank query.

Right click the table you want to refer. 

Then you can follow the steps he showed you.

 

Hop this helps.

Thanks
