Rollup

The Rollup function aggregates and looks up data in a second workbook data element.

To apply the Lookup and Rollup functions without directly using the formula bar, see Add Columns via Lookup.

Syntax

Rollup(formula, local key 1, external key 1, [local key 2], [external key 2], ...)

Function arguments:

• formula (required) - The formula to compute (or the target column to reference) for the row in the target element.
• local key 1 (required) - The column to use as a join key in the local data element.
• external key 1 (required) - The column to use as a join key in the target data element.
• local key 2 + (optional) - An additional column to use as a join key in the local data element.
• external key 2 + (optional) - An additional to use as a join key in the target data element.

Example

Rollup(Sum([Sales Amounts/Sales Amount]), [Order Number], [Sales Amounts/Order Number])

Data is inserted into the Orders table’s [Calc] column from Sales Amount table’s [Sales Amount] column.

The function’s formula parameter uses the Sum function to aggregate values from the Sales Amount table’s [Sales Amount] column.

These two tables are joined using a single set of join keys: Orders’ [Order Number] column is joined with Sales Amounts’ [Order Number] column.
