Filter duplicate rows based on a condition
Hello Everyone!
I have an output in the below format and would like to filter the duplicate ids with 'fieldA' value as zero then calculate 'fieldA' in the place of zeros
Current Output: filtered Outpt: Required Output
id fieldA id fieldA id fieldA
101 54236.0100 101 54236.0100 101 54236.0100
101 4526441.012 101 4526441.012 101 4526441.012
102 0 102 0 102 fieldB-fieldC
103 4479652.2456 103 4479652.2456 103 4479652.2456
103 0 103 0 103 fieldB-fieldC
104 476526 104 476526 104 476526
105 0 105 0 105 fieldB-fieldC
105 0
I have tried various stats commands but was not able to achieve this.
Can you please help me on how to get the required output?
Thank you in advance

Hi
Please try this.
| makeresults
| eval _raw = "id, fieldA
101,54236.0100
101,4526441.012
102,0
103,4479652.2456
103,0,0
104,476526
105,0
105,0"
| multikv forceheader=1
| rename COMMENT as "Previous generate sampe, next is the logic"
| dedup id, fieldA
| eval fieldA = if (like(fieldA, "0"), "fieldB-fieldC", fieldA)
| table field id fieldA
And if those fields B and C are numeric then remove " around those in eval + if.
Also like(fieldA.... should replaced to normal numeric comparison if it is numeric instead of character field.

| stats values(fieldA) as fieldA values(fieldB) as fieldB values(fieldC) as fieldC by Id
| mvexpand fieldA
| eval fieldA=if(fieldA=0, fieldB-fieldC, fieldA)This only works if fieldB and fieldC are unique for Id i.e. the stats doesn't create a multi-value field

From your very limited sample data it appears that for any given Id, fieldA is either a non-zero number or zero or both, with the assumption that for any given Id, there will be at most one non-zero number and any number of zeroes including none. Also, I assume fieldB and fieldC are unique for any given Id. If this is true, then try this

| eval fieldA=if(fieldA=0, fieldB-fieldC, fieldA)

Hello @ITWhisperer ,
This sums up the 'feildA' even when we have values greater than zero. But I want them separately.
For example : id 101 in the above example.
