Knowing ahead of time (from analysis) how many elements your array needs would be necessary, else cfset the current element with 0 just before filling with actual data read from db.

RE: Help with ArraySum
Pan, The problem turned out to be that some rows in the db table had null values. Apparently an array doesn't like that. When I populated the empty db rows with 0 in all columns, the arraySum function liked that fine. Thanks for taking the time to look at this problem.

All the values are real numbers. What is the datatype for the field in the db? What code do you use to retrieve the data? You might try conditioning the data with val(trim(data)).

Help with ArraySum
I'm setting an array and trying to get the sum of the values. The array is populated from the contents of a "Number" field in an MSAccess table. The error I get is: "In function ArraySum the element at position 1 is not a real value. Please make sure that the function's first argument contains only real values" When I convert the array to a list, it outputs the following as the contents of the array: 3.0,2.0,0.0,3.5,0.5,0.0,1.0,0.0,3.0,2.0,2.0,4.5,3.0,0.0,0.0,6.0,4.5,9.0,0.0, 3.0, What might be the trouble?
