Thanks Jan, I was looking for the first one, summing the values from two columns into one number. I did it as sum(col1) + sum(col2), but your solution is more elegant ☺

Both is possible, the first can be done simply as SUM(col1 + col2), the second can be accomplished with two sums: sum(col1), sum(col2). Does that answer your question?

I can do it in two separate queries but is there something similar to sum(col1,col2)? Thanks, Richin
