Method1: Using read range to get the data and sum of these.
Mehod2: Invoke vnbet code to calculate the sum of speicific column

Should I use vnbet code? Is there any other way?

Using vnbet is more quicly i think, Also you can read range of column and loop the datatable to get sum.

Hi @ROBERT_RUSSELL_MONSA ,

I’ll suggest you to use following LinQ code,

Sum = (DT.AsEnumerable().Sum(Function(i) Convert.ToDouble(i.Field(Of Double)("Regular Hours").ToString)))

Yeah sure,

here, DT.AsEnumerable() is a method converts in generic collection or you can say object which can be used in a Linq expression.
Basically, it allows you iterate through like for each row activity.

Sum(Function(i) Convert.ToDouble(i.Field(Of Double)("Regular Hours").ToString))

here, .Sum is aggregation function, which is used to calculate a single sum value from the collection of the values.

i.Field(Of Double)(“Regular Hours”)
—> this is getting values from column “Regular Hours”

i.Field(Of Double)
—> specifying that value is of type double and if you not
mention it there, anyway by Convert.ToDouble is converting it’s in double for applying .Sum function on it.

Yes there is many ways to achieve this if you want then you can simple store this in a dataTable and then usin For Each Row activity then using assign Sum=Convert.ToDouble(row(“Column_Name”).ToString)+Sum
gives the sum of that column

If you can make sure all values in your excel column is numeric, then after the read range you can do:
mySum = DataTable.Compute(“SUM([Regular Hours]),”")
