Effortless Data Summation Workflow
detail.loadingPreview
Quickly aggregate numerical values from multiple data items into a single sum. This workflow provides a foundational example for basic data calculation within n8n, ideal for reporting and analysis.
About This Workflow
Say goodbye to manual calculations! This powerful n8n workflow streamlines the process of summing numerical values across multiple data items. Whether you're dealing with transaction amounts, quantities, or any other quantifiable data, this workflow efficiently processes a list of inputs and consolidates them into a single, comprehensive total. Leveraging the versatile Function node, it demonstrates how to iterate through data and perform custom aggregations, providing a robust solution for various data processing needs without complex coding.
Key Features
- Automated Summation: Automatically calculates the total sum of a specified numerical field from multiple input items.
- Flexible Data Handling: Easily adaptable to sum any numerical field (e.g.,
amount_USD,quantity,price). - Custom Logic with Function Node: Utilizes the n8n Function node, offering full flexibility for custom aggregation logic.
- Consolidated Output: Returns a single, clear output with the aggregated total, ready for further actions or reporting.
- Beginner-Friendly Example: Serves as an excellent starting point for users learning data manipulation in n8n.
How To Use
- Execute the workflow: Click 'Execute Workflow' to run the example with mock data.
- Integrate your data: Replace the "Mock data" Function node with your actual data source (e.g., a database query, webhook, or an API call). Ensure your data items contain a numerical field you wish to sum.
- Customize the summing logic: Open the "Summing function" node. Modify
item.json.amount_USDto match the exact path of the numerical field in your incoming data that you want to sum (e.g.,item.json.totalPriceoritem.quantity). - Process and retrieve: Run the workflow. The output of the "Summing function" node will contain a JSON object with your
total_value. - Extend further: Use subsequent nodes (e.g., Set, Google Sheets, Email) to further process, store, or report your aggregated sum.
