I am outputting many rows to an excel table, some of my columns are numeric, I am hoping to add a total row at the bottom of my table, to sum these columns. I have found the Statistics Calculator, but I have no idea how to apply it (if at all possible).
Any thoughts?
Hi @benvk, I would use the Aggregator with the Attributes to Sum option to do that. See the screenshot below. Assuming attr1, attr2, attr3 has numeric values.
@benvk For FME 2020 we revamped the StatisticsCalculator to make it faster and easier to use. So that is now a good alternative to the Aggregator.
Another option is to let Excel do the work by writing a SUM formula after your data. I've written a blog post about how to do this here.
To make this dynamic I like to use this formula:
=SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN())&":"&ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN())))
or if there is a header sell then
=SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2,COLUMN())&":"&ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN())))

I can see the results in the statistics calculator, they look correct. I still am perplexed how to get FME to insert a row in the sheet to show these totals?
