As far as i am aware you cannot use any folder object as a capacity provider. The only objects you can do right sizing (or any capacity management) are Hosts, Datastores, Datacenters, Custom Groups, Custom Datacenters, Cluster Compute resource, Virtual Machiens, vDS and resources pools.

If you think about it why would you want to right size a folder. You might be better creating a new custom group and use the folders as the membership rule. You can then add those groups to a view that will show you the rightsize for all the VMs in that folder but would look like

SQL Folder

VM Name     Current vCPU     Recommended vCPU     Current Memory     Recommended Memory

SQL VM1    

SQL VM2

SQL VM3

There should also be a OOTB over sized VM report that you can run against your custom group for the folder.

First you need to create Folder VM Groups in vROPS.  This guide will show you how to do that.  vROPS 6 – Creating groups by VM Folders / Resource Pools for Reports and Dashboards | VM IGNITE

Once you create the Folder groups you can attach them to VM Reports.

To get the total counts for CPU, Memory, and Disk you will have to create a summary View make sure to change it to "Sum" when selecting the Summary.  It is set to "Average" by default.
