How can I count both events that are tagged and those that aren't?

I currently use the following to count the number of names that are tagged as cool:

... tag::cool | stats dc("Name")

This gives me a count of cool kids. I would like to compare the number of kids that are "cool" with those that are not cool. Any ideas how I can get those two numbers?

Hi Phil219,

you can do something like this:

  tag::cool OR tag::uncool | stats count(eval(tag="cool")) AS cool count(eval(tag="uncool")) AS uncool count AS total

to get a count of cool things, uncool things and a total count of both events.

Update
Just in case there is no tag::uncool you can use this search:

 tag::* OR NOT tag::* | stats count(eval(tag="cool")) AS cool sum(eval(if(isnull(tag), 1, 0))) AS uncool count AS total

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
