Total of a field in all records.

No experience with databases but I managed to get a simple one running to track my stock of radio vacuum tubes. Each record has a numeric field titled "how many" where I enter how many of each tube I have. 

 

Id like to add a field titled "total" that sums up all the "how many" fields in each record to tell me the total number of tubes I have overall.

 

ive worked on this until it's obvious I'm not making any headway. Thanks for any help.

    If you click on the column header of "how many", you'll get a popup with some options. Choose "Sum" and the total will be displayed at the bottom of that column.

    You can create a 'Formula' field with this code:

     

    sum((select TableName).YourField)
