Looking for a way to create better tables for large file

sourcetype="AAA_CDR" bob.com Total_Bytes > 0 | convert timeformat="%j" ctime(Event_Time) AS day | table User, day, Total_Bytes

My Splunk search above is pulling the data that I need, but the table is getting huge.(over 2 mil rows and counting. I am looking for recommendations on ways to table the data differently. My goal at the end of this is to create a table that shows the number of days a user used data and the total number of bytes they used for a customer time range. Any ideas? A small sample of the data is below.

2 100 1024

Have a look at the stats command, you could try something like:

sourcetype="AAA_CDR" bob.com Total_Bytes > 0 | convert timeformat="%j" ctime(Event_Time) AS day |  stats dc(day) sum(Total_Bytes) by User
