You need a way to refer to the objects whose contents you want to sum. In the attached model I use centerport connections. Labels, groups, table entries, global variables and reference by name might be other ways that come to mind.

Once you have that, you need to write code that sums up the content statistics and set the value of the "textnode" in the "Text Display" field to that value (first convert to a string).

Thanks to you, I've fixed the issue. If I want to change the settings to MAX CONTENT, how do I do it?

Use ".stats.content.maximum" instead of ".stats.content.value". Same for "minimum" and "average" at the end.
