    ... what have you tried?

    sum(a) + sum(b)


    what's the problem?

    I think the issue here is that you can't name a beastmode from within another beastmode.

    For example, if A in this case was something like:

    Current Year Sales:

    sum(case when `year`=year(curdate()) then `sales` else 0 end)

    and B were something like:

    Current Year Expenses:

    sum(case when `year`=year(curdate()) then `expenses` else 0 end)

    You cannot write a third calculated field for profit like this:

    sum(`Current Year Sales`) - sum(`Current Year Expenses`)

    You would need to write out each calculation:

    sum(case when `year`=year(curdate()) then `sales` else 0 end)
-
sum(case when `year`=year(curdate()) then `expenses` else 0 end)


    Hope that helps

    Thank you.

    It worked when I wrote out each calculation.
