Hi, 

My issue is : 

I want to link 2 different CSVs that have 1 column in common. 

My first csv : 

account id year month total
aaa 111 2020 jan 445

 

My second csv : 

account_num platform
111 zzz

 

The values of the header id in the first CSV corresponding to th value of account_num in the second CSV.

What I want is to link both csv with the id/account_num so that platform values (2nd csv) match to the right account (1st csv).

Is there a way to do this? 

Thanks !

OK thanks it correctly add at the end the end column platform !

Now, I want to create a request which gives me the following table : 

platformaccountjanfebmars...Total
Aaaa     
Abbb     
Bccc     
Bddd     

 

I created a request that gave me a part of the solution : 

| inputlookup append=t first_csv.csv
| lookup second_csv.csv account_number as id OUTPUT platform
| search Year="2020"
| search account=*
| chart sum(Total) by account, Month useother=false
| addtotals
| table account,Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Total

but how can I append the column platform like the table I want ? is it possible ?

Sorry I think you made a mistake in your answer because I already did that.

What I want is at the end a table like that : 

| table platform, account, janv,feb,...,Total

I have already tried that query, and it returns empty cells because the

| chart ...

makes a filter on account, month, Total so that it is impossible to have "platform" at the end in the
| table ....

I think it is the chart command that filtering the result on fields account, month and total. 

accountjanfebmartotal
c14712
d25815
e36918

And after this command, even if I call the fields platform in the table command I will never have the values of that field because of the chart filtering.

Let me know if I am wrong.

I am looking for a solution where I can add platform column after the chart in order to have this table : 

platformaccountjanfebmartotal
Ac14712
Ad25815
Be36918

Terrible.
That's the result of the new Splunk Answers, right?
I hope we don't have any more of these people around.
