Arithmetic operation on fields from different events

Consider the below types of events

fields  :     OS         transaction      numbers

Events:     Win        purchased           150

                   Unix       purchased           200

                   Win        sold                         100

                   Unix       sold                         125

I want the results to be:

 

OS      InHand(purchased-sold)

Win      50

Unix     75

 

How to do this?

I didn't get the results.  

<Index Search>| 

in verbose mode returns 

1. OS=Win Category=purchased Numbers=100

2. OS=Unix Category=purchased Numbers= 200

3. OS=Win Category=sold Number=50

4. OS=Unix Category=sold Number=125

My search scenario is, if OS is Windows, I want to calculate the remaining count which is purchased - sold. How to do this.
