Function name:
DSUM

Category:
Database

Summary:
DSUM calculates the sum of all numeric values in the cells (fields) of the specified column, for all rows (database records) that match the specified search criteria. Blank cells or cells containing non-numeric characters are not included.

Syntax:
DSUM(Database; DatabaseField; SearchCriteria)

Returns:
Returns a real number that is the average of the extracted numeric values.

Returns 0 if no matches are found, or if there are no numeric values in the cells of the specified column for the matching records.

Arguments:

 * If no matches are found for the given SearchCriteria, or if there are no non-zero numeric values in the cells of the specified column for the matching records of the Database, then the function returns 0.

Examples:
The content of cells A12:E12 should be identical to the header labels for the database table in cells A1:E1. Make sure that cells A13:E13 are blank, except for cell D13 which should contain ">0" (this search criterion is intended to match all records in the database table).
