The Sum function is a column aggregate. That means that you enter one column name of a set of data.

You can add them with the '+', create a temp table or cte, or use a pivot method depending on how much data you need to sum

Solution 2

SQL

SELECT -0.112 + 0.234 * @Transaction1 - 0.88 * @Transaction2 As Computed

But I'm not really sure this is what you are searching for.
