INSIDE the crosstab query not at all. Such an operation is not provided for in a KTA, and SQL works row-oriented, not column-oriented.
However, you can determine the desired sum in another query and then link this query to the KTA.

you need to create a Top 5 Query first(1_Top5BySINo on demo and 2_SumTop5Score an append query), then append it to a temporary table.
next, you create a Crosstab from your table joining the temporary table.

What is KTA?

 

[ebs17]

KTA = crosstab query (Kreuztabellenabfrage)

Ach so! Alles klar.

(Not obvious in an English language forum!)

Yes, my error..
I wasn't thinking clearly because I also want someone to copy data from an image into a usable Access table.

No problem! It's interesting to learn the terminology in another language!
