Create an Own column in my query

exchanger
Path Finder

Hello,

I have a query (e.g. "....... " | stats count, avg(...)) and after that I get as result
Count avg
20        40

What I would like to have before that is a separate column that I can name myself.
So desired:
OwnColumn Count AVG
XYZ                 20           40

How can I include this in my query?
