Help creating a search that involves an IF statement and JOIN

There are three different events. Each event has the same fields. The fields I am focusing are "NumberOfRecords" and "Message"

Event 1 - Message: "Promote" NumberOfRecords:*2
**Event 2
* - Message: "Evaluate" NumberOfRecords:*3
**Event 3
* - Message: "Retire" *NumberOfRecords:*1

I am in in need of an if statement (or any other method) that will combine these three events and returns all three counts with headings to designate which event it came from.

Example: if message = "Promote" then return 2 as the count for "Promote Count" and so on.
I am able to his is individual queries such as:

NameOfJob= GH0A | spath NumberOfRecords | search NumberOfRecords=*| spath message | search message="PROMOTE" 

However, I would like to do all three in one search. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

what does this one gives you?

NameOfJob= GH0A | spath NumberOfRecords | search NumberOfRecords=*| spath message | stats sum(MunberOfRecords) by message

how about this one?
NameOfJob= GH0A | spath NumberOfRecords | search NumberOfRecords=*| spath message | stats values(MunberOfRecords) by message
