<div>
&quot;He wants the TOTAL field to SUM or SUBTRACT from the previous AMOUNT.&quot;<br />
On what criteria does the calculation decide if it's going to sum or subtract? &nbsp;Or are you saying PREVIOUS + TOTAL = RESULT, and if TOTAL is negative the operation should be subtraction?
</div>


<div>
Thank you for your reply.<br />
He wants the new total field to be like this:<br />
<br />
New total = previous total - Amount IN OR previous total + Amount in<br />
<br />
I did not find a way to put two functions together. <br />
Any help would be appreciate.
</div>


<div>
It should only require one function:<br />

<div class="indent">
NewTotal = PreviousTotal + AmountIn
</div>
<br />
Unless you have some other criteria that determines if AmountIn is positive or negative, just adding the two numbers together should do the trick.
</div>


<div>
He wants the new total amount to be pre-configured like this : new total amount = previous amount - amount out OR previous total amount + amount IN.<br />
As you can see the following screenshot.<br />
