asp_web_howto thread: Totalling up a coloumn in ASP


Message #1 by "Grant, Maughtlyn V" <GrantMV@s...> on Wed, 5 Mar 2003 07:04:35 -0500

Dear All

I am tring to output the total of a column on an asp page.  The stored
procedure is in SQL 7, a sample is as follows:

ASP page output

Name               Amount
Sue	           11.00
Mary	           10.00

Cannot out this from SQL
Compute Sum(Amount)

How can I output the value of the sql compute statement on my asp page?  Can
anyone help?

Three options:
a) you can execute a separate query in SQL Server and UNION the results to
your existing query
b) you can execute a separate query in SQL Server and return the result as
an OUTPUT parameter
c) (probably easiest), as you loop through your recordset, increment a
counter variable with the value of the current record. Response.Write() the
total when you've finished looping.

Cheers
Ken
