 Instead, create a group item with `SUM` as aggregate function and add the individual price items as children.

 If you want electricity tax included in your total price, please add either `electricity-tax` or `reduced-electricity-tax` to the group - depending on which one applies.

+##### Time Series
+
+Group items with aggregate functions are not automatically recalculated into the future when the time series for child items are updated.
+Therefore, the `SUM` function mentioned above will only work for the current price.
+Calculation of future total prices can be achieved with a rule (in this example file-based using Rule Builder):
