I get this error when I use sql request
$query = "SELECT SUM ".$fields."
FROM tbl_report all_months
".$joins."
WHERE all_months.date > '$from_date'
AND all_months.date < '$to_date' GROUP BY fio";
but with operator Distinct it works
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT ".$fields."
FROM tbl_report all_months
".$joins."
WHERE all_months.date > '$from_date'
AND all_months.date < '$to_date' GROUP BY fio";

Use open and close parenthesis on mysql sum():
$query = "SELECT SUM (".$fields.") AS result_value
Note: As hanky has said in the comments, it might not work as expected if the value of $fields
contains comma separated list of column names.
If it is indeed, then you need to use +
instead of ,
:
$fields = str_replace(',', '+', $fields);
