Aggregate

Aggregate your lists

list[].attribute1

list[].attribute2

list[].attribute3

The Aggregate building block allows you to sum up values in your table or to perform other calculations that require iterating through all the rows of your table

Use cases

Sum up values of a given sheet and include them into status reports

Configuration

Click on the bold text in the title of the building block to open the configuration dialog.

After adding the script to your flow, click on the keyboard icon in the input parameter section.

Only unbound input parameters are activated in the form dialog, so if you are using the script multiple times you may need to activate the table and expression parameters.

If you are summing up data of a particular column in your table to calculate the total, you will end up with a new variable holding the calculated value.

Initialize new variables

First of all you'll have to initialize the new variables that you want to create. Use the result prefix when initializing your variables. If you want to create two variables called subtotal and vat , you'll have to initialize them like this:

result.vat = 0; result.subtotal = 0;

You may use Ultradox variables in your statements, they will be evaluated before the script gets executed. So in case you want to initialize the subtotal variable with an existing value you can use an expression like this:

result.vat = 0; result.subtotal = ${startvalue}

Do the math

After initializing the new variables, you can use them in the expression that will be calculated for each row in your data:

result.vat += row.amount * row.quantity * ${vatrate} / 100; result.subtotal += row.amount * row.quantity

Please note that you will have to access the columns by using the row prefix. To provide your calculations as new variables, they must have the result prefix.

Make sure to use the new variables without the result prefix in your template, in this example just use ${vat} in your template to print the calculated vat.
