Calculating

How do I create a calculations so that I receive a final
total?

Example: I created columns named: Quantity Ordered, Sum
of Unit Price and Sum of total Cost. I need to calculate
these columns in order to receive the Sum of total Cost
for quantity ordered.

What are the steps needed and where do I begin?

Can you help?

Hi Roving,

You would need to either create a Report or a Query that has a column with
the calculated values.

You can't perform such calculations within a table.
