How to find sum of multiple columns in a table in SQL Server 2005?

sql, sql-server, sql-server-2005

Solution

Easy:

SELECT 
   Val1,
   Val2,
   Val3,
   (Val1 + Val2 + Val3) as 'Total'
FROM Emp

or if you just want one row:

SELECT 
   SUM(Val1) as 'Val1',
   SUM(Val2) as 'Val2',
   SUM(Val3) as 'Val3',
   (SUM(Val1) + SUM(Val2) + SUM(Val3)) as 'Total'
FROM Emp

Problem

I have a table `Emp` which has these rows: ``` Emp_cd | Val1 | Val2 | Val3 | Total -------+-------+-------+-------+------- 1 | 1.23 | 2.23 | 3.43 | 2 | 23.03 | 12.23 | 2.92 | 3 | 7.23 | 9.05 | 13.43 | 4 | 03.21 | 78.23 | 9.43 | ``` I want to find `SUM` of `Val1, Val2, Val3` and which will show in the `Total` column.
