@Ghanayem1974 ,
Try similar to

|tstats count as current where index=_internal by _time
 |eval week_day=strftime(_time,"%a")|sort week_day
 |streamstats current=f last(current) as prev by week_day|fillnull value="NA"
 |eval diff=if(prev=="NA",current,abs(current-prev))
 |eval perc_of_change=round((diff/prev)*100,2)|where perc_of_change > 20
