Is there any functionality in Elastic Search using which we can perform mathematical operations or calculations on the entries in an index?

Yes, there is a concept of aggregations, where metric aggregations will have the min, sum, percentage, etc which might help you.

> **[Metrics aggregations | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.5\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-metrics.html)**

The below URL will have all the details, if you go into it.

Also, alternatively, you can use painless scripting as well if you want to perform and operations on your data.
