yes, it works.
eval totalcount=acount+bcount+ccount

or if you want to sum all the columns, use the command
| addtotals

That's more than possible, with precisely the eval call you posted.

Is there more to the question than that?

Thank you, however for some reason I was not getting a result. addtotals is working for me.
