Mathcad - Text in table cells

I wanted to create a table with text and numbers and then be able to sum the numbers. Such as:

Item Wt

Motor 100

Bearing 20

Mount 220

TotalWeight:= Sum Wt

But it is complaining that "Motor" etc. are undefined variables.

I could created just a single column table to hold the weights and then align it against a series of text boxes but that does not feel right.

Thanks for your help,

It's best if you attach your file and/or include a snapshot.

You likely just need to put Motor, Bearing, & Mount in quotes:

Item Wt

"Motor" 100

"Bearing" 20

"Mount" 220
