Working a bit in the dark here abbat, but 
without an indication of the rdbms, try

$Query = "SELECT Sum(Column) as kangaroos"
$Sum = $Result!kangaroos

or 
$Sum = $Result["kangaroos"]


I doubt that $Result!Sum(Column) could ever work
and I'm pretty sure that no rdbms in the known 
universe would ever succeed with
$Sum =$Result!" Sum(Column)".

In the latter case, think 
$Sum=$Result!a_result_field_that_does_not_exist

In the former case, think
$Sum=$Result!now_I_want_you_to_go_back_and...
_recompute_an_entirely_different_result_field.
