How do I sum values inside a multivalue row?

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a sum of fields inside a row, but I can't figure how to do it. This is my scenario:

  • I have a table with one line for each transaction.
  • A transaction is composed of single calls (A, B and C).
  • For each call, I have a RequestTime

My actual table:

T          Service    RequestTime A  RequestTime B  RequestTime C
---------------------------------------------------------------------
12 ms         A           3            0              0
               B              0            6              0
               A              3            0              0
               B              0            2              0
               C              0            0              6
---------------------------------------------------------------------
56 ms         A           2            0              0
               B              0            4              0
               A              3            0              0
               B              0            2              0
               C              0            0              1

I want to add 3 more columns with the each RequestTime column sum by row, to be like this:

T          Service    RequestTime A  RequestTime B  RequestTime C  Total_A  Total_B  Total_C
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 ms         A           3            0              0           6        8        6
               B              0            6              0
               A              3            0              0
               B              0            2              0
               C              0            0              6
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
56 ms         A           2            0              0           5        6        1
               B              0            4              0
               A              3            0              0
               B              0            2              0
               C              0            0              1

It's possible to do that?

Thank you

You can still club all three eventstats into one.
