try this below expression

Sum({<AUTHORISED_DATE={"=len(trim(AUTHORISED_DATE))"},CANCELLATION_DATE={"=len(trim(CANCELLATION_DATE))"}>}ORIGINAL_CHARGE)

or better to create Flag in script and refer that in expression

LOAD *,l

           if( len(trim(AUTHORISED_DATE)) =0 and len(trim(CANCELLATION_DATE))=0,1,0) as Null_Flag

FROM QVD

then use below expression

Sum({<Null_Flag={1}>}ORIGINAL_CHARGE)

when i use:

Sum({<F1={"=len(trim(AUTHORISED_DATE))"},F2={"=len(trim(CANCELLATION_DATE))"}>}ORIGINAL_CHARGE)

 

it is summing all the rows in the table, not just where those 2 fields are null

it is now counting but not counting the correct amount, i have used the script in the load editor and that has worked.
