Hi splunkmata,

Please try the following search commands following the search string that produced your table:
... | stats count by USERNAME, DEVICE | stats list(DEVICE) as DEVICE, list(count) as count

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Sorry, correction - missing by DEVICE at the end:
... | stats count by USERNAME, DEVICE | stats list(DEVICE) as DEVICE, list(count) as count by DEVICE

Thanks!
