Using join statement with count and dedup

I have the current statement using append:

search_term1 | stats count by ip_address | table ip_address count | append [search search_term1 | dedup ip_address | table ipaddress _raw]

which makes a table rows:

ip_address---------- count ------------ _raw

123.456.1.1 -------- 520 ------------------

123.456.1.1 ----------------------------- raw data

I would like to combine my data into single lines:

ip_address---------- count ------------ _raw

123.456.1.1 -------- 520 -------------- raw data

It seems that I should use the join statement but when I do the raw data refuses to display at all. Please help! Thanks!

I was able to solve this by using selfjoin statement:

search_term1 | stats count by ip_address | rename ip_address as sip_address | rename count as scount | table sip_address,scount | append [ search search_term1 | dedup ip_address | rename ip_address as sip_address | table sip_address,_raw ] | selfjoin sip_address

Although I would still like to know why it is that count must be renamed.
