Hi,

I have a query which gives GroupName and its members in the below format

 

GroupName                    member
Domain Admins  CN=firstname1\, lastname1 P0,OU=P0-Accounts,OU=test OU
                                   CN=firstname2\, lastname2 P1,OU=P1-Accounts,OU=test OU
                                   CN=firstname3\, lastname3 P3,OU=P3-Accounts,OU=test OU

And im trying to extract it in multiple events like below seperately for each and every member

GroupName                    member
Domain Admins            CN=firstname1\, lastname1 P0,OU=P0-Accounts,OU=test OU
 Domain Admins           CN=firstname2\, lastname2 P1,OU=P1-Accounts,OU=test OU
 Domain Admins           CN=firstname3\, lastname3 P3,OU=P3-Accounts,OU=test OU

Ok , so why didn't work, is it not a multi value field? or can you share the search which results in the existing state?
