Sum of values in column of a table

Is there a readymade function to get the sum of all the values in a particular column of a table? I can do it with for loop but again, lot of coding. Please let me know.

You can use the query command and use SQL to find the sum:

query("SELECT SUM([Col 1]) FROM GlobalTable1");
int sum = getqueryvalue(1, 1);

But that's about the same amount of coding as a for loop:

int sum = 0;
for(int i = 1; i <= gettablerows("GlobalTable1"); i++)
     sum += gettablenum("GlobalTable1", i, 1);

@Arun KR Thanks Arun, I already wrote a user command. Just wanted to know whether they have any automatic function.

Thankks Matthew. I thought so. I was hoping for something like

totalsum=columnsum("Tablename",range from column).

Hei Sachin,

You can create a user command for doing this.

getdatastat(STAT_SUM, gettablerows("GlobalTable1"), gettablenum("GlobalTable1", count, 1))
