Any way to perform a similar action but add up a total of hours and minutes?

@Simon,

The JavaScript method for controlling precision is toFixed. Google that and you should be on your way.

Check your arrays (use console.log or send them to global variables you can check from the console). If you’re getting the wrong column’s values, I have some new techniques for this using cellIndex I can share.

Addendum to the above, you should also replace the second and thirds $ symbols in this line (replaced to £ here):
if ($(e).text().indexOf(”£”) >= 0) { m = “£” };

Now, if someone can advsie how to set the number of decimal places (I want none)…

I also got the NaN error at first. I figured that all the examples use US dollars and reviewing teh code I spotted that the currency symbol is coded into the expression parser (and don’t even get me started on the prevalent US assumption that it is the only country on the planet that uses computers).

Changing the line to replace the second $ with the currency symbol you use should get the right total to show up, though I haven’t quite worked ouut how to put a suitable currency symbol back in:

x += Number($(e).text().replace(/$|,|\)/g, “”).replace(/\(/g,”-”));

It would be even better if the code looked at the number format, extracted the symbol and replaced it automatically rathher than havinng to alter the code according to the currency, but that’s beyond my skill level.

Thanks for this great post. I’m trying to calculate an Average like Amanda and Richard were; however, when I use the “x = x/arrayList.length;” line in the grouping script, the value returned is not accurate. The value of the calculated average it displays is smaller than the value of any of the individual items, so it appears that the value of arrayList.length is too large by several items (i.e. dividing the sum by 12 when there are only 5 items in the array.

DO you have the script to get the Average of Calculated Columns?

Thanks and best regards
