    Sum of multiple text (CAL?)

    Hi all.

    Just wondering if anyone has any bright ideas...

     

    I have about 100 different MText with numbers (all in one drawing), I would like to get the average from all these numbers.
    It would be great to easily get the total from the numbers. Any ideas how this would be achieved? If all else fails, I will have to use the calculator and I don't fancy doing this for multiple drawings :smileyfrustrated: But I get the feeling that's probably just what I will have to do.

     

    Cheers :smileyhappy:

    Why not use a TABLE instead of MTEXT: TABLE in AutoCAD lets you add cells for a total at the bottom. Right tool for the right task.

    Cheers Dean.

     

    Having the data in a table wouldn't work.


    They are dB readings throughout a hospital building. I have dB readings in each room. And need to get the average dB readings for each level of the building.
    Each dB reading is a seperate MText.

    Cheers again.
