Splunk Search

How can I use tstats to search event count comparing with last week a the same time

I have a search that works with stats - but fail to work when using tstats..

Here is the search with stats:

index=wineventlog sourcetype="xmlwineventlog:security" earliest=-15m@m-1w latest=@m-1w | stats count by host | rename count as LastWeek
| appendcols [search index=wineventlog sourcetype="xmlwineventlog:security" earliest=-15m@m latest=@m | stats count by host | rename count as Today] 
| table host Today LastWeek

Since this search take some time - I thought that I should use tstats instead - but some how I can't make it work. The individual
searches works - but not combined as subsearch as in this example:

| tstats count where index=wineventlog sourcetype="xmlwineventlog:security" earliest=-15m@m-1w latest=@m-1w by host | rename count as LastWeek
| appendcols [search [|tstats count where index=wineventlog sourcetype="xmlwineventlog:security" earliest=-15m@m latest=@m by host | rename count as Today]]
| table host LastWeek Today

In this search it only returns values for "LastWeek" - nothing for "Today", but the individual searches with tstast works without problems.

Anyone with a clue?

| appendcols [|tstats count where index=wineventlog sourcetype="xmlwineventlog:security" earliest=-15m@m latest=@m by host | rename count as Today]
| table host LastWeek Today

Ok, thank you!
I knew it was something simple - sometimes you need someone else eyes - to see the obvious...

Thanka, again.
