SumI(Parameters: Array): Variant;
Parameters. Variables, which sum must be calculated.
The SumI method returns the sum of corresponding points for two or more variables if they contain only integer values.
Variables in Parameters must be separated via comma.
A calculation period can be set for the method. To do this, use the IModelling.SetPeriod method, by specifying it at any place of input array.
To calculate the method without taking into account empty values, use the IgnoreMissing parameter by specifying it in any place of the input array. Available values of the parameter:
True. Calculation does not take into account empty values.
False. Default value. Calculation takes into account empty values.
Use the IModelling.Sum method to calculate the sum of corresponding points for variables containing not only integer values.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MS identifier. This contains includes a model with the MODEL_D identifier that is calculated by the determinate equation method and contains more than one input variable.
The first and the second input variables must contain only integer values.
Add links to the Metabase and Ms system assemblies.

After executing the example the model calculates the sum of corresponding points for the first and the second input variables without taking into account empty values.
Expression 1:
SumI({Brazil|BCA},{China|BCA},{Sudan|BCA})
Result: sum of corresponding observations of the Brazil|BCA, China|BCA and Sudan|BCA series. If any of time series contains the real values, an error appears.
Use: it can be used in formulas of cross functional expression editor in any platform tool where it is available.
Expression 2:
SumI(X1,X2,True)
Result: sum of corresponding points of the X1 and X2factor points ignoring empty values.
Use: it can be used in model formulas of modeling container based on variables.
Expression 3:
SumI(4,2,5,-3)
Result: 8.
Application: it can be used in any expressions.
