How do I divide the sum based on a criterion using the eval command?

Hi I have the following search:

[my search]
|dedup @timestamp 
|stats sum(json_message.amount) as "total" by json_message.currencyCode 
|eval devide = if(like(json_message.currencyCode,"%IDR%") , "1748000" , "100")
|eval final=total/devide 
|table json_message.currencyCode final
|rename final as "Total in real amount",  json_message.currencyCode as "Currency"

In the result table, I want the total amount to be divided by 1748000 for IDR and by 100 for other currencies.

Yes, you caught that correctly, always consider renaming the field name if field name cannot be a variable name for your script, for being on safe side.!!!!!

@xelian ,

Your search should work. Are you not getting the result? Suggest to remove the quotes around the numbers in the condition though it should not affect your result.

This is a run anywhere example

| makeresults |eval currencies="IDR,EUR,USD,AUD"|makemv currencies delim=","| mvexpand currencies|eval total=100
|eval divider=if(currencies=="IDR",100,10)|eval final=total/divider|fields - divider

What goes around comes around. If it helps, hit it with Karma 🙂

I remove quotes but in the result always 100 is devide. I think the problem is somewhere in the if, because it is a String. I do not know I am very upset. I tried 100 different scenarios and always 100.
