HI Alan,

The "Total sum over time steps" does exactly what you were seeing. The result 
field has
no time associated with it. If you want the result to associate with the last 
time
step, please try another formula: sumFromBaseTime(field), this one is not in 
the list,
but you can type in from:
Formula > Grids > Define a grid diagnostic.

let me know if this is not what you want.
