Scripted fields can work on a field or set of fields in the document. I would like to create scripted field on aggregated value.

Say, I have terms aggregation of `fieldA` with count metric.  
I would like to create another field based on the value of count, which says:

if count \<= value, **scripted\_field** = 1,  
if value1\<= count \<=value2, **scripted\_field** =2,  
....  
how can I achieve this in Kibana?

Also, finally have a data table like this: Is it possible?

```
 fieldA Count scripted_field
  ..... ..... ......
  ..... ..... ......
```

Hi Krishna,

Scripted fields work only on values within each individual doc. So if a doc had 3 numeric fields you could use a scripted field to add them together, or average them, or find the min, max, etc. But not across all docs or a set of docs.

But you can also use some scripting within Visualizations in the Advanced JSON field;

I don't know of very many exampels of using it, but here's one;
