Ranking Data From Search Results into Deciles

I have a table of data with values like this:


String         Numeric
Client 1      99.9

Client 2      99.2

Client 3      93.8

Client 4      89.0

Client 5      72.9

and so on for miles....

I would like to add a column which outputs Decile rank of the clients based on their numeric value.  Can you point me in the right direction please?

Thank you,

-MD

Does this example work for you?

Before eventstats is just setting up example data

| makeresults count=143 
| streamstats c
| eval Client="Client ". c
| fields - _time c
| eval Numeric=random() % 1000 / 10
``` Logic from here to calculate deciles ```
| eventstats perc10(Numeric) as p10 perc20(Numeric) as p20 perc30(Numeric) as p30 perc40(Numeric) as p40 perc50(Numeric) as p50 perc60(Numeric) as p60 perc70(Numeric) as p70 perc80(Numeric) as p80 perc90(Numeric) as p90
``` Now position the client according to rank ```
| foreach 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [ eval Rank=if(isnull(Rank) AND Numeric < 'p<<FIELD>>0', <<FIELD>>, Rank) ]
| fillnull Rank value=10
| fields - p*
