Have you ever noticed that in SharePoint views, when selecting to view “Totals”, calculated columns aren’t listed as an option for column totals?
There may be a couple of ways to accomplish what you need in your scenario, but the “List Relationships” is not one of them, unfortunately.

Then, she shows how to quickly create a data view web part, with a custom message letting end users know why the web part is empty.

A common topic that is asked about in SharePoint, is how to roll up information from sub-sites to a top level site, and just generally how to show data from one site on another site. There are different methods and 3rd party tools that can be used, but here is a simple way to create a roll-up, that you can do yourself, using the data view web part, and a tiny bit of code. I’m not a developer, I swear! In this 5 minute screencast, I’ll show you the fundamentals behind creating your own rollup.
Yes, the title is a mouthful, but if you’ve got a half hour, this is a fun session. Michael Gannotti, Laura Rogers, Mike Watson, Joel Oleson and I take a quick stab at what we saw this week and try to put it into perspective.
