Description:

Adds the numbers in a list. We use it on our invoices, where the user is free to put the amounts in a text field.

It recursively takes the first number off the list and adds it to the rest of the list, till the list is empty.

Formatting is done recursively by two other custom functions.

Note: these functions are not guaranteed or supported by BrianDunning.com. Please contact the individual developer with any questions or problems.
