Unbound Controls for Calculation

I have an unbound control in my form that calculates the subtotal for items (quantity * price = subtotal) for an order #. I'm trying to make another unbound control that calculates the entire cost of that order# (sum of subtotal = grandtotal). Is it possible to have calculations on one unbound control be based on another unbound control? I have been trying to do it based by the "name" property of the control, but doesn't seem to work. It seems that I have to create another field in my table for subtotal. Hope my question makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
You cannot perform calculations on calculated items. But, if you put the following formula in it should work.

= sum(quantity * price)
