Alternative for eval while using pivot

I wanted to accelerate my searches so I am using data models and pivot.

| pivot Accounting Accounting  sum(Input) AS "Input" sum(Output) AS "Output" dc(User_Name) AS "Distinct Count of User_Name" SPLITROW _time AS _time PERIOD hour SORT 100 _time ROWSUMMARY 0 COLSUMMARY 0 NUMCOLS 0 SHOWOTHER 1 

I want to do a simple sum(Input)/10000 as "input" (Division by 10000) that's all.
I tried using stats before the sum and also eval, but it does not work on a pivot. How can I do this?

I don't currently have a way to test this, but if it behaves like the timechart command, you should be able to do this:

| pivot Accounting Accounting  sum(eval(Input/1000))  AS "Input" sum(Output) AS "Output" dc(User_Name) AS "Distinct Count of User_Name" SPLITROW _time AS _time PERIOD hour SORT 100 _time ROWSUMMARY 0 COLSUMMARY 0 NUMCOLS 0 SHOWOTHER 1

I tried this and it didn't work.
| pivot Statistics HTTP sum(eval(count/3600)) AS "Total Number of Transactions"

I get this error:
Error in 'PivotCell': The object 'HTTP' has no field 'eval(count/3600'.

Any ideas??
