let's suppose you want a count and average Value of all the records that match some criteria in the 30 days prior to the end of a report. You can do something like this:

your search that gets all your data 
| addinfo
| eval last30daysFlag=case(if _time>info_max_time - 30*1440, "Y") 
| eval my30dayCount=case(last30daysFlag="Y", 1) 
| eval my30dayValue=case(last30daysFlag="Y", Value) 
| eventstats sum(my30dayCount) as my30dayCount avg(my30dayValue) as my30dayValue

That can also be written more succinctly as

your search that gets all your data 
| addinfo
| stats sum(eval(case(_time>info_max_time - 30*1440,1))) as my30dayCount,
            avg(eval(case(_time>info_max_time - 30*1440,Value))) as my30dayValue

In both cases, by using eventstats, the answers for the whole search will be added to every record.

If the entire search is using a stats command, you could also build it into that instead of using eventstats.
