splunk remove common field values after join

I have two indexes. I can join them and see the results based on a common field. I want to see only the results in the second index that are not part of the first index.

index=BASE earliest=0
| eval LPR = strptime(LastPolicyRequest, "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p") 
| where LPR >= relative_time(now(),"-7d@h")
| table "WiFiMAC","LastPolicyRequest","ValidFrom","ValidTo" 
| join type=left WiFiMAC 
    [ search BASE earliest =-48h
    | eval indextime=strftime(_indextime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") 
    | eval Indextime =strptime(indextime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%N") 
    | eval Time =strptime(_time,"%s") 
    | eval Minutes_Diff = round((Indextime - Time)/60,2) 
    | stats avg(Minutes_Diff) as Avg_Minutes_Diff stdev(Minutes_Diff) as StDev_Minutes_Diff min(Minutes_Diff) as Min_Minutes_Diff max(Minutes_Diff) as Max_Minutes_Diff count as count by WiFiMAC 
    | eval Avg_Minutes_Diff = round(Avg_Minutes_Diff,2) 
    | rename count as "Sample Size" 
    | table "WiFiMAC", "Avg_Minutes_Diff", "StDev_Minutes_Diff", "Min_Minutes_Diff", "Max_Minutes_Diff", "Sample Size" ] 
| table "WiFiMAC", "Avg_Minutes_Diff", "StDev_Minutes_Diff", "Min_Minutes_Diff", "Max_Minutes_Diff","ValidFrom","ValidTo","LastPolicyRequest", "Sample Size"
| dedup WiFiMAC

Any Ideas?

Hey

Let's say you WiFiMAC is the field that you use to eliminate them, you can use a strategy like the following:

Index 2 NOT [ search index 1 | ..... | return WiFiMAC]

That will show you index 2 entries that don't have any value of the index 1 entries you got in that subsearch
