The following snippet calculates the cumulative sum of the total monthly sales
:
POST /sales/_search { "size": 0, "aggs" : { "sales_per_month" : { "date_histogram" : { "field" : "date", "calendar_interval" : "month" }, "aggs": { "sales": { "sum": { "field": "price" } }, "cumulative_sales": { "cumulative_sum": { "buckets_path": "sales" } } } } } }

And the following may be the response:
{ "took": 11, "timed_out": false, "_shards": ..., "hits": ..., "aggregations": { "sales_per_month": { "buckets": [ { "key_as_string": "2015/01/01 00:00:00", "key": 1420070400000, "doc_count": 3, "sales": { "value": 550.0 }, "cumulative_sales": { "value": 550.0 } }, { "key_as_string": "2015/02/01 00:00:00", "key": 1422748800000, "doc_count": 2, "sales": { "value": 60.0 }, "cumulative_sales": { "value": 610.0 } }, { "key_as_string": "2015/03/01 00:00:00", "key": 1425168000000, "doc_count": 2, "sales": { "value": 375.0 }, "cumulative_sales": { "value": 985.0 } } ] } } }
