How get a count of last Status

t_splunk_d
Path Finder

I trying figure out what is the best search query for reporting on the count of different unique status.
Following is the records:
ID NAME STATUS LASTUPDATEDTIME
1 Group1 Started 12:15
1 Group1 Processing 12:30
1 Group1 Transfering 12:45
1 Group1 Completed 1:06
2 Group1 Started 12:17
2 Group1 Processing 12:32
2 Group1 Transfering 12:46
3 Group1 Started 12:55

When I try | stats count by STATUS - it does give me the correct numbers.
I am looking for the result:

Started - 1
Completed - 1
Transferring - 1

I want to report count of last Status.

Thank you.

Hi
let me better understand your request:
each ID can have different status and you want to count only the occurrences of last status of each ID, correct?
If this is your request try something like this:

your_search 
| stats latest(STATUS) AS STATUS by ID 
| stats count by STATUS

Bye.

@t_splunk_d, | stats count by STATUS should be best way of finding count based on different unique status. Is there any issue that you are facing when you run this command?

count of last status will always give you 1 if i understand the question correctly...
try the following, considering ID field is ID:
... |stats lastest(STATUS) by ID
