Overview
Administrators can create rollup formulas to perform calculations based on specific fields from the data source. Static Rollup Formulas include:
Split | A SPLIT formula breaks a data string like comma delimited lists into substrings. |
Average | Calculates the average a field (for example, average age). |
Count | Counts a number of records that fit a given condition. |
Sum | Total of all values in a specific field. |
Min | The minimum value of a specific field. |

For this example, we will build a static rollup formula to sum all the salaries of all employees..
