Convert table (stats output) to fields for eval?

How can I take table output like the above and convert it into key=value pairs, so I can eval them further?

I came up with a different way to do what I needed, but am still pondering the dead-end I reached before that.

Say I have data like:
id=0001 status=class1
id=0002 status=classb
id=0003 status=classb
id=f3e9 status=foo

I do: | stats distinct_count(id) as C by status

Now I have a table:
status C
class1 1
classb 2
foo 1

How can I take table output like the above and convert it into key=value pairs, so I can eval them further? Say, I want to know the ratio of class1 to classb. That is, I want to know (class1's value) / (classb's value).

try something like this :

... | eval series="dummy" | chart limit=0 distinct_count(id) as C over series by status | fields - series

If you have a genuine series (like _time) you can just use "over _time" instead of using "eval series="dummy " and "by series"

i.e.

... | chart limit=0 distinct_count(id) as C over _time by status
