I'm not sure if there is an answer to this question but as of right now, I'm using fieldsummary to get a better understanding of my data and specific fields in my data. Buuut, that's about where my fieldsummary journey ends. Are there any other interesting ways you use fieldsummary?

| fieldsummary
| rename field as names
| search names="color"
| spath input=values {} output=args
| stats values(names) as names by args
| spath input=args
| xyseries names value count

I made this for a trial.
