# Rollup Column

> Perform calculations on columns, such as count, average, and sum.

#### Rollup Video

The **Rollup** allows you to perform a calculation on an entire column or a [Relation](/docs/automation/computed-columns/relations). The most basic computation for the rollup is Count.

## Column or Relation Source

For example, the app below has a list of people who all have tasks. The **Tasks** column is a [Relation](/docs/automation/computed-columns/relations) that pulls in every task assigned to each individual person. You can then create a Rollup Column that counts the total number of tasks for each person.

## Adding a Rollup Column

#### Adding Rollup Column Arcade

In the [Data Editor](/docs/getting-started/introduction-to-the-data-editor), open the table you want to edit.

Add a new column by clicking the plus (**+**) symbol to the right of the table.

* New columns added with the plus button will always appear on the right. If you'd like to add a column somewhere else in your data, you can select the dropdown menu on an existing column and choose **Add column right**. You can also click and drag columns to rearrange them.

Name the column.

For **Type**, search for **Rollup** or navigate to **Computed → Rollup.**

Choose which existing column or Relation you want to perform your calculation on.

Choose which calculation you want to perform.

Specify the precision in decimal points for your calculation, as well as if you want to use a group separator or add units to the calculation.

Select **Done**, and you will immediately see your calculations fill the column.

## Calculations

The Rollup Column can perform different calculations based on the data it finds in the column or relation you select.

### Boolean

The Rollup column can perform calculations such as Count, Count Unique, Count True, Count False, All True, and Some True when applied to a Boolean column.

### Text
