How can I aggregate information into rows based on a transaction ID?

I have events which will all have an ID, stageID, stageDuration, as well as other information.

In the past I've used `chart sum(stageDuration) over ID by stageID` to create stacked bar charts, but now I’m more interested in the table produced by that command. It has a column for ID, then columns for the durations of each of the stageIDs that had the same ID.

I would like to create a similar table except I would like to include additional columns. For example, I would like to conditionally populate a column with event.startTime from the stage foo if the stageID foo exists for an ID.

I don't need to visualization, just the way of forming the table.

It seems like there might be a way to do this with transactions but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Try something like this

| eval foostart=if(stageID="foo", 'event.startTime',null())
| stats sum(stageDuration) as stageTotalDuration values(foostart) as foostart by ID stageID

This isn't quite it.

 

When I run the chart command I get this table:

sessionIDstageID1stageID2stageID...
id1998634
id2334522

 

I want the same thing except without the chart and with additional columns populated depending on what the stages are

Can you give an example of what you are trying to achieve?

I have events with stageIDs and IDs. I want to create one row for each ID which includes a column for each stageID to indicate whether it has or does not have a corresponding event for that stageID. Then I want to filter for only the rows (IDs) that have stageID=foo present, and then create a pie chart to count the occurrences of each stageID in the rows that remain
