Hi,
I have the following search and need to make a timechart of NoicerValues by APname. I tried this but there are not results.

index="ti-wifi" sourcetype=csv_wifi name=bsnMobileStationMacAddress
| rename values as MobileStationMacAddress
| join ip
   [search index="ti-wifi" name=bsnMobileStationRSSI
   | rename values as MobileStationRSSI ]
| join ip
   [search index="ti-wifi" name=bsnMobileStationSnr
   | rename values as MobileStationSnr]
| join ip
   [search index="ti-wifi" name=bsnMobileStationAPMacAddr
   | rename values as MacAddress ]
| lookup wifi.csv MacAddress OUTPUT APname
| eval MacAddress =APname
| eval totalCount = (MobileStationRSSI - MobileStationSnr)
| stats sum(totalCount) as totalNoice, count as Sessions by APname
| eval  NoiceFloor = round(totalNoice/Sessions,0)
| timechart list(NoiceFloor) by APname

Thank you

Ed

list is not an appropriate function to use over timechart. Try avg or other mathematical aggregation functions

| timechart avg(NoiceFloor) by APname

Can you show the results you get when you remove the last part of your search (the | timechart ...)?

I receive the following table :

APname totalNoice Sessions NoiceFloor
wap-3 -72 1 -72
wap-7 -755 8 -94

wap-8 -1081 11 -98

At this point, your stats() has already removed all time information, so it's no longer possible to draw a timechart.
Do you actually want a time chart, that means the values for one or multiple series over a certain time frame? If yes, what time frame would that be?
