I want to get value from one multivalued field which are not present in other multivaliued field from same index and event. I do not want to use join or append as they have limitations for number of records.

eg. |makeresults
|eval fieldA="1,2,3", fieldA=split(fieldA,","),fieldB="1,2", fieldB=split(fieldB,",")

I want to get the value 3 from fieldA

|eval fieldA="1,2,3", fieldA=split(fieldA,","),fieldB="1,2", fieldB=split(fieldB,",")
| rename COMMENT as "this is sample you provide, from here , the logic"
| stats values(fieldB) as fieldB by fieldA
| where isnull(mvfind(fieldB,fieldA))
| fields fieldA
