You should be able to look at the Overview/Other/Virtual Domains (also
available as the Report Menu : Details : Domains report) and see totals for
each domain name. In order for that report to work your server must be
logging the domain names or writing each domain to separate log files which
you then put into separate sub-folders of Summary's Logs folder.

Any configuration needed to get that report to work is also required to be
able to setup sub-reports. There are various approaches to getting the
required information to show up, depending on how your server is setup.

Most servers don't log domain information by default. Your server is
probably not logging the necessary information. You probably want to
configure your server to log the HTTP HOST header, sometimes called CS-HOST
or any of several other things.

It isn't uncommon to see one or two spurious entries in the virtual domain
report that each have only a couple of hits, even when your server isn't
logging domain information. There is a little used way for domain
information to be encoded into the request which tends to cause a couple of
hits to show up there, but most browsers don't support it.

You might want to look at Method Two in the Virtual Domains configuration
chapter in the manual
<http://summary.net/manual/virtualdomains.html#method2>. It may give you a
few hints on how to proceed, even if you don't setup sub-reports (which is
not really necessary if I understand what you want correctly).

Good Luck
