I'm trying to make a table that has one of the column headers to have the value as the most occurring value in another column. I want to do something similar to this:

..| rename columnX as [stats mode(columnY)]

In general you can do things like this:

| stats count | rename count as [stats count | return $count]

Note though, the subsearch does not use any info from the surrounding search, you will have to retrieve that from within the subsearch.
