Splunk Search

Comma delimited and align left for single value...?

Dozens of posts on these topics.. I've tried makemv, fieldformat, tostring, tonumber all to no avail. So I'm just going to past my query in hopes someone can help me out. I have placed them after the stats call but having no luck. 

query

| stats list(Plugin) by Host, OS, App, Manager
| rename list(Plugin) as "Plugin ID"

The result is either one or several numbers in a single field - Plugin ID. I would prefer to delimit those results by comma (and align left for the single value results if possible). 

Instead of (the lines are supposed to represent the cell/field):

______________

204188

193574_______
______193574__

 

I would like them on a single line, wrapping where necessary:
204188, 193574 

193574_______

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I apologize. It does in fact work in a standard search window. However, the panel in the dashboard studio does not. Thanks for your time.
