Seems like a good way when you only have some fields that needs to be added. When working with 3-400 requirements that needs to be summarized it seems to be easier to use excel, instead of using a field code similar to: {={DropDownReq1}+{DropDownReq2}+{DropDownReq3}+... +{DropDownReq400}}

Or is there any great summary formulas that I missed?
