Dynamically created columns with totals

Hello,

I'm looking to accomplish a couple of things with the same query and am getting a little stuck. One search looks for all the SSO errors. Those results don't give me a way to see which customer is having issues so I piped that to a different search to be able to lookup the district name. (i'm sure there may be a easier more efficient way to do this and if you can help that would be awesome but is secondary to the next request)

Based on those results, I want to show district name, the number if times each error occurs, and the total number of errors.

Here's what I have so far...
host=prod-* LOGGERCLASS=* IP=* District_Name=* School_Name=* OBID=* "MESSAGE=LOGIN_SUCCESS" | stats count as Logins by OBID, IP, District_Name, School_Name | join[ search LOGGERCLASS=SSO_LOGGER sourcetype=log4j SSOSTATUS=SSO_FAILURE | stats count as SSO_ERRORS by IP, ERROR_CODE ] | xyseries District_Name ERROR_CODE SSO_ERRORS

This gives me a table that looks like:

|District_Name | S601 | S602 | S603 | etc. (dynamically expands)
|UniqueDistrict1| 1 | | |

I would like to be able to add a total to the last column to tally up the total number of errors.

I may have worked this out and feel stupid for asking...

`host=prod-* LOGGERCLASS=* IP=* District_Name=* School_Name=* OBID=* "MESSAGE=LOGIN_SUCCESS" | stats count as Logins by OBID, IP, District_Name, School_Name | join[ search LOGGERCLASS=SSO_LOGGER sourcetype=log4j SSOSTATUS=SSO_FAILURE | stats  count as SSO_ERRORS by IP, ERROR_CODE ] | xyseries District_Name ERROR_CODE SSO_ERRORS |addtotals`

Just added the addtotals

No need to feel stupid. There are an incredible number of options and commands in Splunk, so it's easy to not know about some of them!

You should be able to just add | addtotals to the end of your search. This will take the sum of all numeric fields in a row and put that sum into a field called "Total". To customize, use the options documented here:
