Power Apps: Sum Function and Collections (Basic and Advanced)

Written by Matt Peterson | Mar 15, 2021

As a former Algebra and Algebra 2 teacher, I dealt with summing up numbers on a daily basis. In Power Apps, we might forget that you can sum numbers as well. Summing values is not just for Algebra teachers, Power BI users, and Excel users. 😀

In this video, I show how you can do a basic sum of a column from your data source. I then go a step further and show how you can sum up a column with a filter applied to that table. Later in the video, I show how you can sum up numbers from the inputs of your users in the application itself. Finally, I show how you can collect that sum from your user and then submit that value back to your data source.
