Quite unnecessary, since Word can also do quite complex calculations using formfields & field coding, for example.
To see how to do a wide range of calculations in Word, check out my Microsoft Word Field Maths Tutorial: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...-tutorial.html
For a demo of what can be done in the realm of point calculations, see: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...html#post74823

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?
