Perform functions on recordset?

Is it possible to perform functions on a recordset (rather than on the
source database), e.g. COUNT, MAX etc

The reason I would like to do this is because I have a hugely complex view
which produces results with over 60 columns of data. I would like to display
all data but also highlight individual "cells" in the table which have the
highest (i.e. MAX) data for each column. I would also like totals at the
bottom of each column.

Obviously I could get the MAX value for each column by performing it on the
SQL data but that would effectively mean running the query twice and would
take twice as long.

Any suggestions?
