HI,

I created scripted field on numeric field with following expression and painless script,

**doc['field'].sum()**

but its not working.  
I am using ELK - 5.4.0 version

its not giving any error, but values always are 1's or 0's  
Can somebody please help with this.

Also Is there any way to calculate count like **doc['field'].count()**.

Thanks in advance

Uday.K

@udaykirankona

Where did you find a reference to those `sum` and `count` methods?

In Kibana, scripted fields transform one or more document values into a new value (on a per document basis).

To get started, see:

That link seems to be for array-values for a document, not over all the documents in the index.
