Tally is a simple plugin which allows you to calculate totals or averages for numeric values in an entries loop. A common use for this would be calculating order totals for the month from your e-commerce orders channel, or adding other financial data spreadsheet-style.

Tally lets you keep an ongoing total of values to sum or average in multiple collections of values while you’re iterating through an EE entries loop (be it channel:entries or a third-party module loop). Display the result of each collection of values anywhere in your template by embedding a small template containing the tally:total tag.

Please read the plugin docs for details.

Here’s an example of using Tally to display a total of orders placed on your e-commerce EE site:

{exp:channel:entries channel="orders" year="2010" month="12"}
    {exp:tally:add collection="orders" value="{order_subtotal}" count="{count}"}
    {exp:tally:add collection="shipping" value="{order_shipping}" count="{count}"}
{/exp:channel:entries}

{embed="reports/_total"}

The contents of the reports/_total template would be:

Subtotal for month: ${exp:tally:total collection="orders" decimals="2"}
Shipping for month: ${exp:tally:total collection="shipping" decimals="2"}
