Wow loving glide, so much more the way i work myself in my own head. However i have a question. I have a checkbox next to my items when displayed that allow to show whether this has been purchased or not. What i want to do to do a sum of the rows that have had that check box checked. ![Screenshot_3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/d/dd4b556ba32da2bbc5941812a84bbdf85834c29c.jpeg) these are displayed on the purchased landing page using a filter ![Screenshot_4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/5/a5cbd7812219b69bc0edfec0065102e75a49dc62.png) Wnat i want is a sum of these items and only these items, showing how much has been spent on purchased items, displayed on this landing page. I used a rollup on other sections for categories etc but i cant seem to do a query with that ? Any help would be very very appreciated. ---

Use a Query column to create a query of rows you want to sum. Then create a Rollup column that uses the query to sum the amounts from the query. ---

Ok that worked perfectly, thank you so much. ![Screenshot_5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/9/b9f5c9973bb27b36fc283241ed98c25b5213aa2f.jpeg) However i have a further question if i may. Doing it this way seems cumbersome and with a finance app there would be many columns to create. Is there no way of doing a code inside of a display element with say something like `SELECT FROM Items, SUM(IF(Purchased, Price, 0))` I can just see things getting complex using columns to achieve all this or is that the no code way ? ---

No. Logic and “code” is handled in the table. ---
