Looping through a Macro using a csv lookup?

I have a request from a user who wants to get some stats from the Exchange App around specific users. Namely they're looking for a count of incoming and outgoing messages.

There's a macro in the Exchange Application that would do what I need. Unfortunately, I would have to run it each time for each user they want to report on.

I was attempting to do something almost like a loop, passing the value from the csv lookup as an argument to the macro.

Is this possible?

It would be better to describe your use case in more detail. It's almost never a good idea to try to write your own loops in Splunk, nor it is usually advisable to use the map command.

map (http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Map) seems like it should be close to what you want, but I've always had the devil of a time getting it to do anything the way I would expect.
