Not sure what do you mean by &quot;sum the string&quot; - put them all together side by side or perform a actual SUM function on the values?<br />
If you just want to concatenate all data you can add a new filed that contains the value from all these 4 fields combined together.
</div>


<div>
To clarify, I want to sum all the &quot;1&quot; values. &nbsp;For example, the value I would like to be calculated from my data example above would be &quot;54&quot; as there are fifty four instances of the number 1.
