eg.

product1          200        300
product2          500        600

Alternatively, if you don't need highly customized date ranges, you can use the bucket command before charting.

... | bucket age span=5 | stats count by product,age

See if the fieldformat command can help you: http://splunk-base.splunk.com/answers/35124/format-result-set-numbers

Hi, for adding $ you use eval again:
eval age="$"+age

Replace age with your actual field names

Thank you, got it now i want to include a $ sign for the values below (age)20-25

product (age)20-25 (age)30 -35
product1 $200 $300
product2 $500 $600

| eval age_dist=floor(age/5)

This will give you a field named age_dist with distinct values for every 5 values of age

| eval age_range=case(age_dist==0,"(age)0-4",age_dist==1,"(age)5-9",...,age_dist==n,"(age)n*5-n*5+4")

This will give you the age groupings you are looking for

| stats count by product age_range

This will give you the table you are looking for

Your final search should look like:

... | eval age_dist=floor(age/5) | eval age_range=case(age_dist==0,"(age)0-4",age_dist==1,"(age)5-9",...,age_dist==n,"(age)n*5-n*5+4") | stats count by product age_range

Hope this helps
