You are correct. However Robert was pointing out that you do not have that 
capability on the scheme side of things.

Personally, I think that this is one weakness in the present approach to 
report generation. I would prefer to see an implementation that does the 
calculations in the engine (as directed by the report generator) and only 
does the displaying in the external part. That way we would be able to take 
advantage of database implementations of the summation in the case that we 
use an SQL database for the store.
