-# sum
-This command allows you to calculate the sum of values in a column.
-
-## Examples
-To get the sum of the file sizes in a directory, simply pipe the size column from the ls command to the sum command.
-
-```shell
-> ls | get size | math sum
-━━━━━━━━━
- value
-━━━━━━━━━
- 51.0 MB
-━━━━━━━━━
-```

-To get the sum of the characters that make up your  present working directory.
-```shell
-> pwd | split-row / | size | get chars | math sum
-━━━━━━━━━
- <value>
-━━━━━━━━━
-21
-━━━━━━━━━
-```
-
-Note that sum only works for integer and byte values. If the shell doesn't recognize the values in a column as one of those types, it will return an error.
-One way to solve this is to convert each row to an integer when possible and then pipe the result to `sum`

-> open tests/fixtures/formats/caco3_plastics.csv | get tariff_item | math sum
