I'm getting incorrect results from a sum and wonder if
anyone sees something obviously wrong. (Won't surprise
me.) Leaving 'simple' out of the equation (or adding

select round(sum($menu.carb * units) + simple.carb,2)
I was hoping for a syntax error on the above line. This has
worked fine until I added simple.
from itemized inner join simple on itemized.uid = simple.uid
inner join $menu on itemized.personal_id = $menu.id
where itemized.uid = ? and itemized.date between ? and ?
group by date;
It's supposed to return 253.08, but I keep getting 260.36.
Your "bug" is likely in the GROUP BY.

relates to no stored values. Thanks anyway.
