Combine 3 csv reports and send it in one Email

Hi, I am stuck into a weird problem. I have 3 queries from 3 different source producing a table with a service name and it's error count. Is it possible that I generate 3 reports, attach it in the same email and trigger it as a scheduled report. I know we can use append command but i think that will make the output a bit messy.
Is there any other way?

There are many ways but the best is like this:

|inputlookup append=t report1.csv
| eval which=coalesce(which, "report1.csv")
|inputlookup append=t report2.csv
| eval which=coalesce(which, "report2.csv")
|inputlookup append=t report3.csv
| eval which=coalesce(which, "report3.csv")

@woodcock Hi, Thanks for your quick response. This really works fine. But I have to first output my query results to a CSV and then use the above command to append the results in one csv.

Actually what i was thinking of if we can create 3 separate csv's and attach them together in same mail. Not sure if that is possible?

You can also use loadjob and savedsearch to pull in the results of previous search runs; this will bypass having to write to a file but you run the risk of the searches' TTL expiring and splunk reaping the search job artifacts if you are not careful.
