Does this affect the result? </p> <p>Can anyone please assist me in showing me how to solve this problem and sum all these values in a code from this list. I believe I will have to join string to do so but am unsure. Can you please inform me whether this is possible to sum all these values of the list and if so how can I do it?</p> <p>EDIT: </p> <pre><code>THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
