SUM row by row

[GD61]

Hi, 

In my table, I want to add a new column to display the sum row by row :

Crime rate + Community well-being + Cost of living + Health care quality + Tax rate

What is the formula to do that?

Thanks for help

If I understand correctly, you would create a custom column with the formula:

MySum = [Crime rate] + [Community well-being] + [Cost of living] + [Health car quality] + [Tax rate]

You could also create a measure with the same formula and place it in a table visualization.

i want to use this calc and then also divide this number by the number of columns i used.. to get the average   ex: i have 12 columns and sometimes a row may only have 6 columns that have a number "1" so if the sum is 6 and i want to average it throught the 12 columns. i want the average to return ".5 " not averaging it through only the 6 filled columns returning "1".
