Modifying stats count to include fields with zero-values

HallGM

I have some data with a field called "priority", which has a value from P1 -> P5.

this search query:

...
| stats count as Quantity by priority

 

produces a table that looks something like this:

priorityQuantity
P21
P31
P46
P53

 

As you can see,  there are no data entries with a priority of "P1". However, I would like to actually include that as a row in the table and show that there is a quantity of "0". Ideally I would want to include all 5 priority levels for any dataset, even when they are empty

Can anyone help and let me know how I can do this? Is there a way to specify which values to count?
