$(awk '{s+=$3}END
Hmmm..... so what you're saying is that you used to have floats values in the 3-rd field. Then you converted all 3-rd field values to integers (removed the fractions). And now you're expecting the float values for the trailer/sum row?
How's that possible?

I must be uber confused. Maybe other could understand the dilemma better....

I am going to try and be a bit clearer. I use the following code to display the total of all fields in a column - $(awk '{s+=$3}END {print "T, "s}'. This prints "T, Total"

Sample file:

C, 818128, 5612.13122010,,,,
C, 818129, 1598.13122010,,,,
C, 818130, 7896.13122010,,,,
C, 818131, 2655.13122010,,,,
T, 1776

I am hoping it displays 17761...can anyone explain why it doesnt?

Got it sorted...

It was down to decimal points which I have been removing, for some reason when i removed the decimal point it removed the final digit.

Reorganisation and step by step breakdown solved this problem - many thanks
