Splunk Search

Field values as column name

I've search results something like this:

customerid    tracingid     API     Status
1221          ab3d3         API1    200
1221          ab3d3         API2    400
1221          abcc2         API1    500
1222          abbd333       API1    200
1222          abbd333       API2    200

What I wanted is something like this:

customerid    tracingid   API1  API2
1221          ab3d3       200   400
1221          abcc2       500
1222          abbd333     200   200

I've tried something like what shown here: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/69108/query-results-with-field-values-as-column-header.html, but since I'm new to splunk search, I'm unable to find how do I get without counts.

 1221          ab3d3         API2    400
 1221          abcc2         API1    500
 1222          abbd333       API1    200
 1222          abbd333       API2    200" 
| multikv 
| table customerid tracingid API Status | eval temp= customerid."-".tracingid
| xyseries temp API Status | eval customerid=mvindex(split(temp,"-"),0),tracingid=mvindex(split(temp,"-"),1) | fields - temp | table  customerid tracingid *
