I am doing a search based on a pulldown values and displaying the results in a table. Here is the sample search
stats count(eval(val1)), count(eval(val2)) BY $viewby$, itemType | table $viewby$, "Item Type"
(where viewby is selected value from dropdown. Now the applicable values for viewby in the drop down are "type1", "type2", "type3". In the column header, I want to display "Type 1" for "type1". How can i do that. It is currently displaying "type1" as column header. rename command is not working as well. Appreciate your input.

sriramvaidhyanathan,
You could pipe to the rename command at the end of the search(Splunk docs here), for example:
<your_search>| rename type1 AS "Type 1",type2 AS "Type 2"
As can be seen above, you can do this multiple times with one "rename" command... simply seperate with a comma (i.e. ",")
Hope this helps,
MHibbin

I was doing rename prior to the table. Something like this. stats count(eval(val1)), count(eval(val2)) BY $viewby$, itemType | rename $viewby$ AS ....| table ..... Changed rename to pipe at the end. Works fine now. Thanks for the help !
