Count searches with results

Hey there,
I just started with splunk. Currently I'm testing the new dashboard studio feature.
I would like to count all searches with 1 or more found events on my dashboard.
In case of the attached picture, I would like to display 3 in the upper SingleValue field. If the search for Event 2 has 0 results, i would like to display a 2, and so on.

Is there a simple and scalable solution to this, if I want to add more searches to the dashboard later on?

Thank you in advance!

@Coffeebean 

Can you try the below solution?

<form>
  <init><set token="total_count">0</set></init>
  <search id="base">
    <query>index="_internal" | dedup host, source, sourcetype | table host, source, sourcetype</query>
    <earliest>$time_token.earliest$</earliest>
    <latest>$time_token.latest$</latest>
  </search>
  <label>Test Dashboard</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="time" token="time_token" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Time Range</label>
      <default>
        <earliest>-4h@h</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row depends="$never_show_this_panel$">
    <panel>
      <table>
        <title>Table</title>
        <search base="base">
          <query>| table source, sourcetype, host</query>
          <done>
            <condition match="isnotnull($result.source$) AND isnotnull($result.sourcetype$) AND isnotnull($result.host$)">
              <set token="total_count">3</set>
            </condition>
            <condition match="(isnotnull($result.source$) AND isnotnull($result.sourcetype$)) OR (isnotnull($result.source$) AND isnotnull($result.host$)) OR  (isnotnull($result.sourcetype$) AND isnotnull($result.host$))">
              <set token="total_count">2</set>
            </condition>
            <condition match="isnotnull($result.source$) OR isnotnull($result.sourcetype$) OR isnotnull($result.host$)">
              <set token="total_count">1</set>
            </condition>
        </done>
      </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
      </table>
    </panel>

        <search>
          <query>| makeresults | eval total=$total_count$ </query>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
      </single>
    </panel>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <single>
        <title>Host</title>
        <search base="base">
          <query>| stats dc(host)</query>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </single>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <single>
        <title>Source Type</title>
        <search base="base">
          <query>| stats dc(sourcetype)</query>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
      </single>
    </panel>
    <panel>
      <single>
        <title>Source</title>
        <search base="base">
          <query>| stats dc(source)</query>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
      </single>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

 

If you find a solution fruitful, then an upvote and acceptance of the answer would be appreciated.

Thanks for the answer, but that looks like a XML solution.
As i tried this method with Dashboard Studio, which doesn't support XML, this will probably not work.

I will try to redesign my project with the old Dashboard builder.

Sure, it can be done but you have to do it in one query and then select the fields in the field selector. Try this:
