aggregates

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sums' is the definition.
(aggregate is a kind of sum)

'scrambled egg as great' is the wordplay.
'scrambled' indicates an anagram.
'egg'+'as'+'great'='eggasgreat'
'eggasgreat' anagrammed gives 'AGGREGATES'.

'up the' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
