Hi All,

Simple question but I can't find a simple answer : I would like to know, if there a way to apply a simple math operation on count result like multiplication or division. ( Kibana 5.6.3)

I tried to add a script\_fields on JSON input by following the documentation but it does not work...

My goal is to multiply this result ( see Example below)

Thanks for your help

J.

you could achieve it by scripted fields. In the screen shot below I have selected the Aggregation: Sum and field as count\_field: This gives you the count of the docs. ![Pasted image at 2017_11_01 03_33 PM (1)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/7/271e78841487206f4486897f91288134482d58c1.png)

Now add a scripted field like shown below where you can apply mathematical calculations on the fields:

This way you can achieve what you wanted multiply the result .

Hope this helps  
Thanks
