I have a table output from Splunk Query(Not posting original values of table due to sensitive data)

Col_A   Col_B  Col_C Col_D

1          B           A           W

2          B           A           X

3          B            A            Y

4          B            A           Z

 

I want to apply a search in column Col_D and if any of the among above values from Col_D is not present in the column then add row in the table.

Example :

Input: 

Col_A   Col_B  Col_C Col_D

2          B           A          X

3          B            A         Y

 

Expected Output : 

 

Col_A   Col_B  Col_C Col_D

2          B           A          X

3          B            A         Y

-          -           -           W not present

-          -            -           Z not present

I tried this but on using this Its not populating the records if it matches.

Example if W is present in the table, then data of W should come in result as it is.
