Link Table Cell Data as efficiently as possible.

Ok, I'm in a position where I need to find the sum of many cell's data from many different tables and was wondering if there was a more efficient way of doing so than what I'm currently doing. What I'm currently doing is using the field operation to link the different cell's data together.

The operation is to click inside Parent Table All A's, click Field, click Cell, pick Table 1 A value of 18, add '+' operator, click Cell, pick Table 2 A value of 26, add '+' operator, click Cell, pick Table 3 A value of 51, add '+' operator, and click Evaluate. This will give me the resulting table at the top right circled in Red.

As you can see though, just with three tables the process is a bit clunky and is much worse when I have 40+ tables to evaluate.

I'm wondering if there's any way to set all the A Cell Data up with a variable of some sort that would allow me to just find the sum of A, which would return everything associated with A no matter how many times its table had been copied and duplicated within the drawing?

Hello rslagle1,

The Autodesk App Store may provide some add-ins or routines that might make this a simpler process.

Also, consider the following article: "Tackling Tables in AutoCAD".
