How to display top 10 and replace the rest with others?
I tried using   top limit 5 with userother, but the number didn't match and showed other fields like count, percent and _tc. 
This is just an example.  I have a lot of fields and rows in real data
 Thank  you for your help

| addcoltotals labelfield=Name
| top limit=5 userother=t Name Score       ==>   number didn't match


Before

Expense Name Score
1 Rent 2000
2 Car 1000
3 Insurance 700
4 Food 500
5 Education 400
6 Utility 200
7 Entertainment 100
8 Gym 70
9 Charity 50
10 Total 5020



After

Expense Name Score
1 Rent 2000
2 Car 1000
3 Insurance 700
4 Food 500
5 Education 400
6 Others 420
7 Total 5020

Why do you say the numbers don't match?

Instead of 200, 100, 70, 50 you have one row with value of 420.

Hello,

I meant that if I used the following, the "other" won't match the rest of the numbers.   Thanks

| top limit=5 userother=t Name Score

Hello,

If I have additional fields (Score2, Score3), should I add those fields in the search like below?
I am not how to do it on eval Name. Please suggest. Thank you for your help

| streamstats count as row sum(Score) as running, sum(Score2) as running2, sum(Score3) as running3
| eventstats sum(Score) as total, sum(Score2) as total2, sum(Score3) as total3)
| where row <= 7
| eval Score=case(row == 6, total - running + Score, row == 7, total, true(), Score)
| eval Score2=case(row == 6, total2 - running2 + Score2, row == 7, total2, true(), Score2)
| eval Score3=case(row == 6, total3 - running3 + Score3, row == 7, total3, true(), Score3)

| eval Name=case(row == 6, "Other", row == 7, "Total", true(), Name)
| fields - row running running2 running3  total total2 total3

Yes, except you haven't shown what you would be sorting by. The original ask was to sort by Score descending. How would you sort if you also had Score2 and Score3?

Hello,

I accepted your suggestion as solution.  
I  would sort by Score if I had Score2 and Score 3

I made some modifications. I used addcoltotals, added "total other", and added Score 2 and Score 3.

The only problem is I don't know where Expense no "21"  came from.   

Can you take a look at my search below and see if it looks correct?
Thank you for your help

21 = 1+2+3+4+5+6 i.e. it comes from your addcoltotals - try this

| addcoltotals labelfield=Name Score*
