Anyway to Automatically Add Up Damage

Hey guys! I'm currently playing in a 5e campaign where my character is a lvl5 ranger lvl4 rogue. Between sneak attack, hunter's mark, Dread ambusher, and other damage dice there is a lot of math happening to calculate my damage rolls. Is there a way that I can make roll20 automatically add up all my damage from an attack into one nice number? That way I would only have to add the different attack's damage together vs adding the damage from all the different damage sources!

There are a few ways, sure, it all depends on the look you want at the end of it and the sources of the information... how are you doing it currently?

Also, we'll assume the official 5e sheet by Roll20 but please let us know is that's not right.

Sorry for the late reply! I own all the dnd material on Roll20 I need for the character, and I was hoping there was a way to roll multiple sources of dmg (mainly using global modifiers) but then also have it all added up to make the math easier on my group. I am also using the 5e official sheet for roll20.

I noticed this recently that with some characters, it becomes a quick math problem to add up all of the damage.  I have a Paladin that does base weapon damage (damage1), plus necrotic (damage2) from his Greatsword of Wounding.  Then adds on Hunter's Mark damage and Divine Smite damage (can't remember if he uses Global Damage Modifiers or separate attacks from his attack section).  Oh, and when he crits, it adds more numbers to add up.  

No, it's not difficult to add up 4-8 numbers, but a "total damage" number somewhere would be helpful sometimes. Even if the crit damage was automatically included for the damage1 and damage2 numbers instead of X+Y it would help.

The separate damage number from upcasting spells always seems unnecessary as well.  Just show one damage number from the upcast spell.  Or make this an option somewhere on the character sheet settings to sum up damage or not.
