I have the following result set:

_time                       Visits
Sunday, November 27, 2011   667044
Saturday, November 26, 2011 659234
Sunday, November 20, 2011   648686
Saturday, October 29, 2011  640808

Is there a way to format the Visits' number as follow?

_time                       Visits
Sunday, November 27, 2011   667,044
Saturday, November 26, 2011 659,234
Sunday, November 20, 2011   648,686
Saturday, October 29, 2011  640,808

Regards,
Lp

You can use the fieldformat command to accomplish this.

Try this in search:

| fieldformat Visits = tostring(Visits, "commas") | table _time, Visits

Hi everybody!
This solution is great, but if you change column values to string you'll lose the ability to automatically calculate column totals: such totals will be wrong since they'll ignore every value containing commas.
Is there a way to apply this formatting without invalidating "|addcoltotals" functionalities?

Thank you very much in advance,
Matteo

-- EDIT --
SOLUTION is to pospone | eval tostring(...,"commas") to |addcoltotals: then everything is working fine!
