Population Summary

Question

How do I go about creating something like the population summary geoprocessing tool?  I'm not new to ArcGIS but I don't use the toolbox or the model builder much at all.  I woudl like to create a geoprocessing tool that just sums up a bunch of values inside the table.  It would be nice if the widget were generic so that I could do the following by just putting the right data into the .xml file.

1.) Service layer path needed from arcgis server.
2.) The fields to post to the datatable.
3.) Be able to export or print that data table.

Is their a widget out there already that does this or how do I go about creating what I think would be a simple widget for most but difficult for me.  Can someone at least lead me in the right direction on how to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't know about a "table", but the chart widget has some of this fuctionality built into it:

Yeah I saw that and tried to use it but it only sums on one field.  So I have gone to the geoprocessing tool.  I think this is the way to go here.  I've gotten close.  The tool allows me to use the select buttons and then hit the submit button.  However, when I get my return values they are the same as the output table that I used to publish with.

Here were my steps.
I created my own model:* input table (Tracts_MarketShare) 
* connected to the summarystatistics tool (I updated things so that my fields would sum)
* this connected to my ouput table (summarystatsoutput) which is also a parameter.

I ran the model and got some valid data.

I then went to reults and published the service by right clicking on it.  Share As - Geoprocessing service.

I then created my own geoprocessingWidget xml to point to my new service.

I have a feeling my mistake was somewhere with the model I created.  Maybe using the parameters?
