Compare the row value with the above row value ,
if the above row value is grater than the  present row value, it should be replaced with the above value,
otherwise remains same.

Please can you clarify what would happen if a fourth row had value 4 in the second column, should this be replaced by 5 from row 3 or 7 from row 2 via row 3?

thanks for the response ,

yeah it should replaced by 7 only ,
it should replace with the higher value in the column.

if our 4th row has the highest value , it should remains same.
the same should work for all the rows.

thank you !!

Can you please try this?

Your_search
| streamstats window=2 earliest(A) as pre_A 
| eval A=if(pre_A>A,pre_A,A)

or

Your_search
| autoregress A as pre_A p=1
| eval A=if(pre_A>A,pre_A,A)

 

My Sample Search :

| makeresults | eval _raw="A	B	C
2	35	37
7	35	37
5	35	37" | multikv forceheader=1
| table _time A	B	C
| streamstats window=2 earliest(A) as pre_A 
| eval A=if(pre_A>A,pre_A,A)

 

| makeresults | eval _raw="A	B	C
2	35	37
7	35	37
5	35	37" | multikv forceheader=1
| table _time A	B	C
| autoregress A as pre_A p=1
| eval A=if(pre_A>A,pre_A,A)

 

Thanks

thank you for the response <

with your query,
it replaces with the  the previous value ,
but in my case , it should return when ever the value is grater than the present value, otherwise it should remain same.
