How to use eval command to determine if there is more than one value in a stats table field?

Hello Everyone. I'm trying to find a way to use the eval command to determine whether or not a field in my stats table has more than one value.  Here is the scenario......I have two columns - IP Address in column A and userID in column B. The userID field may have more than one value. I'd like to evaluate the UserID field in each line to determine if there is more than one UserID listed. If there is, I'd like the eval command to place a value of 1 in column C, and if only one userID, to place a value of 0 in column C. Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Use the mvcount function to find out how many values are in a multi-value field.

| eval columnC = if(mvcount(userID)=1, 0, 1)
