How to round the output from chart command?

Hello,

I have produced a table which shows distances between the cities. The search is shown below:

my search | chart  avg(distance) by from_city, to_city

However the distances are shown as floating point numbers with 15 digits after the point. I want to round the number to only 1 digit after the point.

I have tried applying the round function as shown below but this didn't change anything:

my search | chart  avg(distance) by from_city, to_city | eval round(distance,1)

Do you have any suggestions?

Try this:

my search | chart  avg(distance) as distance by from_city, to_city | eval distance=round(distance,1)

Note: Rename field if you want to perform eval operation on it.

Thank you but this still doesn't round the numbers.

Try putting eval inside chart command as:

my search| chart  eval(round(avg(distance),1)) as distance

thank you, that additional eval() worked. It was so frustrating that the "round()" and "floor()" commands can be used like this in a stats function or eval the field after the stats function... but with the chart functions they are charted immediately and simple function wrapping without "eval()" is not accepted as valid by the chart commands.

This has worked. Thank you!
