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.
