Adding commas to "stats sum"

Hi,

I'm trying to add commas to the TotalPrints field as shown in the code below. I have tried the fieldformat=stringto but it just creates an empty additional TotalPrints field. Can someone please advise?

Also a quick one, how can I make the TotalPrints in descending order and limit it top top 10? I have tried sort- and limite=10 but it doesnt appear to do anything..

source="PrinterDemo.csv"
| multikv fields "IP Address", "Location", "Black Printed Impressions", "Black Printed Large Sheets", "Color Printed Impressions", "Printed Impressions", "Printed 2 Sided Sheets"
| addtotals fieldname=TotalPrints "Black Printed Impressions", "Black Printed Large Sheets", "Color Printed Impressions", "Printed Impressions", "Printed 2 Sided Sheets"
| table "IP Address", "Location", "Black Printed Impressions", "Black Printed Large Sheets", "Color Printed Impressions", "Printed Impressions", "Printed 2 Sided Sheets", TotalPrints
| stats sum(TotalPrints) by "Location"

Alternatively, you could use | fieldformat sum(TotalPrints) = tostring('sum(TotalPrints)', "commas") but I prefer somesoni2's approach!

Yup... at the end I've added

| fieldformat TotalPrints=tostring(TotalPrints,"commas")

and

|fieldformat "sum(TotalPrints)"=tostring(TotalPrints,"commas")

no joy.

Can you show what your search string when you tried to use fieldformat looked like?
