How to find a common value between two different fields from same index

Hello Splunk Community,

I would really appreciate any guidance. I become a bit more familiar with Splunk, but at this moment nothing I have tried has worked. I basically need to know where a value is being logged between two  different fields. This is the scenario:

1. If 0 is the count for value (employeeID) between pdf and CSV - dont show. 

2. When value (employeeId)  count > 0 need to know if its logged in either the pdf or CSV

Assuming that PDF and CSV are two different fieldnames and not the value of a fieldname

your search
|eval source=coalesce(PDF,CSV,NA)
|stats count by employeeID,source
|where count > 0
