Hello,

I am pretty new to splunk, and just feel lost at times. I have a question that i cant seem to find an answer for. 
I have data that looks like 

rite10privacy10_0-1628861075129.png

so the above is like 1 row and then there are multiple  rows with the same type of list of entries for timestamp and total

now I want to turn each row into a line on a line chart where the x-axis is the timestamp and the y-axis is the "Total". sort of like overlapping line charts based on all the rows.

anyone have ideas

Great solution, just noticed that my solution has the issues that I'm dedupping the same results so this will lead to an incorrect total value

Hello, So i have tried that the issue is tho and then i get a table that looks like this 

rite10privacy10_0-1628863408501.png


so then i apply same thing to the Total columns and i get a bunch of duplicate rows, is there a way to delete all duplicate rows at that point?
