Insert Formula?

[Oscar Trevino]

I have a rectangular box with a "column" of text on the left and a column of
numbers on the right.

Can anyone offer suggestions on how insert a formula to add the colum of
numbers on the right?

Thanks!

The short answer is that this capability does not exist in Visio. However,
you could programmatically read the numbers from the shape, sum them and
then write the result somewhere.

.... so to do this, I would need to create a new box that reads (only) the
numbers from the original shape.

Can this be done with the shape sheet for the original shape or is this a
Visual Basic Editor task?

you'll have to read the field, parse the components, calculate the total.
definitely programming.
