How can I add quotes and comma to a multivalued field?

HI,

I have a multivalued field with values as
A
B
C
I want it to be replaced as 'A','B','C' . I tried to do it with eval mvjoin, but the first and last values misses the quote like this
A','B','C

SPL used is: 

 

index=* sourcetype=* host=abc NAME IN ("*A*","*B*","*C*") |stats values(NAME) as NAME by host
| eval NAME = mvjoin(NAME,"','")

 

Any help would be appreciated, thankyou

You're almost there

Modify the last eval with

| eval NAME = "'".mvjoin(NAME,"','")."'"

Hi,

Is it possible to get values like this: (ie., double quotes instead of single quotes)

"A","B","C"
