Calculating Total Duration from my project sheet
I am new to smartsheet and I am trying to SUM the number of days from the "Duration" Column. If I understand the Help files correctly, you can only use the SUM function in number fields?
If I use only Days in my "Duration" column, is there a way to SUM up a total at the bottom of my sheet?
Thanks in advance

Yes, but not in the same column. You can use Sum(Duration:Duration) assuming your duration column is called duration. This will sum the entire column. This will always update even when rows are added.
Note: You can't put the sum in the same column and have it automatically do all the rows because it would create a circular reference and try to add that sum to the total and you'd have an infinitely increasting number.
