Sum of a variable field name

Hi Everyone,

Wish you all a very very happier happy new year.

I have a question.

I have following fields SALESA, SALESB, SALESC and so on.

Now say I have a temp table from which a variable can hold the aforementioned fieldnames in it.

For example if an user selects SALESA from the temp table

then the variable vSumofSales= 'SALESA'

Now what I want to achieve is = Sum($(vSumofSales).

Is it possible, if yes, then please suggest how.

Many thanks in advance.

Have a great year ahead.

Hello friends,

I found a solution myself.

Here it is

I used a second variable vSum= Chr(91)&vSumofSales&Chr(93)

The result is vSum=[vSumofSales] which can then be used as a variable field-name.

If others has a better solution please share.

Thanks,
