Known Issues
Custom fields can't do anything intelligent with multiple value CCK fields. For now stick to single value fields in custom fields.

Can you better explain this statement or give an example in the Documentation?

Node's custom fields: decimal (7,2)

  • volunteer_hours - user enters 2.50
  • travel_hours - user enters 1
  • total_hours - computed field (3.50)

What is it here that prevents Views_Calc from performing an accurate SUM calculation?

I am giving a presentation at the Texas Master Naturalist Annual State Conference on how to use Drupal to track volunteer hours. The audience is there because they are not major computer users and need a step-by-step how to. As you can imagine, it's important that what I say works.

Thank you for the volunteer time you donate to Drupal. As a volunteer myself, I know it is not always an easy thing to do.

Multiple value fields are CCK fields that you set up to have more than one value. If your cck fields only have one value, there is no problem. If one of the fields in your example above has more than one value, there is no easy way to know what to do.

There is another issue for this already, so this is a duplicate anyway.
