Custom Field to add a Custom Field result from 3 components

Options
I created a custom field called VCA that is calculated for each peak in the injection. Two of the peaks are called VP1 and VP2. I would like to calculate the sum of VCA for peaks VP1 and VP2. What is a custom field that would do this? I've tried %. .VP1[VCA] + %. .VP2[VCA] but no result is calculated when I process.

    You can just add them up in the formula, you dont need the syntax for intersample CFs:
    VP1[VCA]+VP2[VCA]. That will do it. 
    If you want to keep your actives flexible, you can change the formula to CCompRef1[VCA]+CCompRef2[VCA] and then put whatever active peaks you want added into CCompRef1/2 in your processing method.
