How do I perform eval function on chart values?

Romeo_James

Example Search:
Index=*
|chart count over Character
|addcoltotals

Example output:

Char ........Count

A.................21
B.................13
C.................54
D.................11
....................99


Is it possible to take the addcoltotals and divide it by the value of C (54/99) using an eval func?

@Romeo_James ,

Try,

    index=*
   |chart count over Character
   |eventstats sum(count) as Total
   |addcoltotals
   |eval X=if(Character=="C",count/Total,"")|fields - Total

You can remove the condition, if you want the values for all characters
