Dynamic time range in Splunk query

Hi

I write the Splunk query below to monitor server log

index="abc" sourcetype="abc" login "response.status"=200 source="abc.log"
| timechart span=2m count
| timewrap d series=short
| addtotals s*
| eval daysAvg=round(Total/14.0,0)
| eval yesterday_time=strftime(_time,"%H:%M")
| table _time, yesterday_time, s0, daysAvg,s6 | outputlookup openapi_login_last_days_lam.csv

However, my query is rely on time range to count daysAvg value, for example in this case time range is 14 day so eval daysAvg=round(Total/14.0,0).

I want to calculate daysAvg dynamic. That means I don't need to change time range value when I apply other range.

To achieve that, I wrote code to calculate time range like this

index="abc" sourcetype="abc" login "response.status"=200 source="abc.log"
   | stats earliest(_time) as earliest_time
   | eval latest_time=now()
   | eval difference=floor((latest_time-earliest_time)/(3600*24))
   | table earliest_time, latest_time, difference

index="abc" sourcetype="abc" login
"response.status"=200 source="abc.log"
| timechart span=2m count
| timewrap d series=short
| addtotals s*
| append
    [ search index="abc" sourcetype="abc" login "response.status"=200 source="abc.log"
        | stats earliest(_time) as earliest_time
        | eval earliest=earliest_time
    ]
| eval latest_time=now()
| eval daysAvg=round(Total/14.0,0)
| eval yesterday_time=strftime(_time,"%H:%M")
| table _time, yesterday_time, s0, daysAvg, s6, latest_time, earliest

But earliest from subsearch did not pass to outer search.

Please help me.

Thank you
