Hi

You can try

| makeresults 
| eval EVNT=1,COL1=22,COL2=22,COL3=22,SUM=0 
| foreach COL* 
    [ eval SUM = SUM+<<FIELD>>] 
| table EVNT,COL1,COL2,COL3,SUM

@paullt12345 ,

Just add |addtotals fieldname=sum to your search and you get a new sum field

5 years later and I came upon this. This should be the actual, concise answer for OP's question.
