    No, a total of the Widths, or Lengths. I was able to get the Areas to total.

    In the schedule's properties dialog - Formatting tab: Select the Length field and turn on its "Calculate totals" check (bottom right). Do the same for Width or any others you also want to total.

    There are two ways to refer to totals in Revit Schedules:

    What irneb has described here is used to calculate the total value of multiple elements that are included in the same line of the schedule. So, for instance, you create a Wall Schedule sorted by Width, you will likely have multiple Walls that fit similar criteria, and thus create a blank entry in the schedule (due to multiple values). Using 'Calculate Totals' with instead will sum all of the lengths for all of the Walls that fit the same criteria.

    The other means of acquiring totals is via Totals and Grand Totals on the Sorting/Grouping tab. Here, you can display totals and/or counts for entire fields of for each sorting group. Grand totals are shown entirely below the schedule, while the sub-totals create a break in the schedule following each group.

    Yes, I understand that's how it works, however, the check box for "Calculate Totals" is greyed out.

    What is causing that?

    Are you certain that your Shared Parameter was not inadvertently created as a TEXT parameter? I've accidentally done that before, myself!

    Yes, they are "Length" parameters.

    Relatedly, I had one family that I scheduled by filtering for Material: Name. I duplicated that family, changed its geometry, and loaded it back in to the project. The new family has the same material as the original one, but it doesn't show up in the schedule. What did I do wrong?

    Ok, I answered my own question. When I created new geometry, it lost it's material association with the "Material" parameter I set up. All I had to do was relink it.

    Hmmm. Not sure at this moment. Is it giving you the same trouble with your Width or any other fields?

    Only these custom Shared Parameters give me this problem. All the other fields total fine.
