How To Sum Hourly Column Results In A Separate Column

I am looking to sum up cumulative column totals by hour in a separate column.

Here is the search:

index=main CompletedEvent | bin _time span=1h | stats dc(clientid) as HourlyClients by _time

I would like there to be a 2nd result column that accumulates the 1st column by hour.  For example:  the result in row 2 of the 2nd column will be the sum of rows 1 and 2 in the 1st column, the result of row 3 of the 2nd column will be the sum of rows 1 to 3 in the 1st column, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Use the streamstats command

| streamstats sum(HourlyClients) as CumulativeClients

you can also use accum command as an alternate to streamstats

|accum HourlyClients as total
