Sure.

| foreach by* [  eval '<<FIELD>>'=if('<<FIELD>>'=0," ",'<<FIELD>>') ]

Are you sure you don't want an empty string or null value?

Thanks PickleRick,

I can have below result now, however we can see the number is left-justify now, how can we make it right-justify instead?

The search only returns data. Formatting is up to your visualization.

Before use foreach command to replace zero with SPACE, I can see the string table data is left-justify and numeric data is right-justify 

After "foreach", I can see 7 numeric column data is left-justify and only 1 numeric column data is right-justify.

Understand that, as per the Splunk manual I can see below attribute for table column number format.

    <format type="number" field="count">
        <option name="precision">3</option>
        <option name="useThousandSeparators">false</option>
        <option name="unit">MB</option>
        <option name="unitPosition">before</option>
    </format>   

 If we use table as visualization solution, can we specify how the number justify?

Similarly, I see some table column head/title is left-justify and a few is right-justify. 

Is there any solution to align the same justification? Thanks.
