Hello I wanted to know if it was possible to make a script that adds numeric values of a field in documents with the same name. For example let's say I have

> Document1 Apple 4  
> Document2 Orange 3  
> Document3 Apple 6

Is there a way I can get an output of 10 apples? I would like to make a visualization that is able to add up the values of a numeric field in documents that have the same ID in a name field.
