I am trying to add 2 new fields into a chart, which is calculated by the exisiting columns in the following chart. Basically I want to add A3=A2/A1, and B3=B2/B1:

Can anyone suggest which command to use?

Try this - replace your last chart statement with these two lines - the chart just is renaming the fields and the foreach is doing the calc, i.e. Ratio=TintCount/Zones

| chart sum(tint_count) as TintCount dc(zonename) as Zones by direction type
| foreach TintCount* [ eval "Ratio<<MATCHSTR>>"='<<FIELD>>'/'Zones<<MATCHSTR>>' ]

Can you provide the query you are using? What happens when you tried what you tried?

Just found I can directly add sum(___) and dc(___) inside chart command which solved my previous problem lol! Thanks for looking into it though. Now I have a follow up quesion about my post-analysis for adding calculated fileds into the same chart...

Thanks for the suggestion! But it doesn't seem to work

Is the foreach command supposed to insert a new column called Ratio in this case?

dc(zonename) should be dc(zoneName)
