How to remove quotes from Inputlookup?

Hey All,

I have the following issue.  There is a lookup table I am using within a query in where some items are returned with quotes and some are not.  I have the following query and I need to ensure all the results are returned without quotes.

My final query looks as follows:

I know these quotes are causing issues with my final lookups.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

The values are quoted if they contain, for example, spaces. You could the spaces with underscores for example before they are returned and perhaps switch them back afterwards?

| eval search=replace(search," ","_")
| format "" "" "" "" "" ""
