Is there a custom script to count the number of times a scan query has yielded a result in each column? To clarify, let's say you ran a scan query in 10 different time frames under 10 different columns lined up in a row. Is there a way to create another custom script (the 11th column) that shows how many times certain result (shown by a particular label) has shown up across 10 different columns or 10 different time frames?

You can create a chart indicator to provide a visual of which timeframes are lining up in a row.
And you can create a label providing a count of how many timeframes aligned.
This type of indicator is called a dashboard.
