But splunk dioesn’t recognize this sum.

No it doesn’t work .
Even if you put this instruction :
Convert num (compteur) as compteur | eval compteur = compteur + 1 | table compteur

You have nothing in compteur

what value is present in compteur?
and have you tried same code...as I can see space in between num and (.
provide entire query in 101010 sample code format.
