is it possible to execute code based on a condition?

Hi all,
I wanted to ask a question: "is it possible to execute code based on a condition"?
example: if A = B then "rename C as D" else "add a column"

My problem:
the where returns columns usually 2, (DIRECT, INDIRECT) but there are some cases that returns 3 (DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPC)
a case that returns only 1 (INDIRECT)
another that returns 1 (DIRECT).
When I do the chart, the third field is called "row 3" (I hope to solve with rename).
When I have only one field (INDIRECT) it is called "row 1" but if I call it "DIRECT" it is not good as the values ​​are from the INDIRECT.
Same thing for the field only (LIVE).
The problem I would like is that the chart always has 2 bars for both DIRECT and INDIRECT, even when there is not one of the two.

with this code I have:
| stats sum (*) by OFFERTA
| transpose
| addtotals fieldname = "TOTAL"
| rename "row 1" as "DIRECT"
| rename "row 2" as "INDIRECT"
| rename "row 3" as "SPC"

Solar year                                            DIRECT     INDIRECT     TOTAL
sum (00_PREVIOUS_MONTH)        8                    4                 12
sum (01_PREVIOUS_MONTH)      32                  16               48
sum (02_PREVIOUS_MONTH)      42                 10               52
sum (03_PREVIOUS_MONTH)      30                  8                38

but if I only have 1 field (INDIRECT)
I have as a result:

Solar Year                                                  DIRECT       TOTAL
sum (00_PREVIOUS_MONTH)              0                   0
sum (01_PREVIOUS_MONTH)              3                  3
sum (02_PREVIOUS_MONTH)              1                  1
sum (03_PREVIOUS_MONTH)               3                 3
sum (04_PREVIOUS_MONTH)               2                  2

 

I would like the chart to have also in this case the two fields with DIRECT and INDIRECT with the DIRECT field all zero

Hi
Have you try to use fillnull before stats for those null values? As you sum those then it shouldn't be a issue if those missing fields have value 0.

Yes I tried with fillnull but despite the zero values, the field names are wrong.
Maybe I solved it by editing the | command stats sum
Thank you
