Hello Guys,

I have columns like column1, coulmn2, column3... and I want output as column1, column2=column2-column1, column3=column3-column2, col4=col4-col3...

Is there any way to write search query for this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

Thanks for your answers, but the columns number is more. I cannot do colY=colY-colX every time, is there any better solution?

I have around 20-30 rows as output and other than columns col1,col2,col3.. I have another one column which I am using in my by clause of search query

How many rows do you get? Do you have other columns as well other than columnNs where N=1,2,3...?

... | eval newColumn = columnX - columnY
