Creating a totals field
how would I create a totals field that would mirror the "totals" number given when you check that option in field properties?

You can't easily do that like you would do in excel. Presumably you want to do this to use in a formula. If you descibe your situation in more detail there will likley be some suggestions as to get at what you need.
