A data totalization method for a data processing apparatus having a totalization definition table for defining a name of a table record in accordance with a totalization level and defining an item to be totalized in accordance with the table name. The method includes the steps of referring to the totalization definition table and reading out data relating to the totalization item from a predetermined file, totalizing the read-out data with a table record of an associated table record name in the totalization definition table, and totalizing if a record having a higher totalization level is defined in the totalization definition table, a totalized result of the totalization record with a totalization record of the record at the higher level. If a table record name defining minus-totalization with a totalization record of the high level is defined in the totalization definition table, a totalized result of a totalization record corresponding to the record name may be minus-totalized with the totalization record of the higher level. Accordingly, even if a code system for totalization is not prepared in advance, if totalization items are defined optionally according to the totalization level, the data corresponding to the definition contents is read out from a predetermined file and the record can be totalized in the hierarchical structure corresponding to the totalization level.
