Splunk Search

How do I edit my search to get the distinct count for fields generated with eval?

I have this search and I want only the unique count. I'm getting the unique count for the id field, but not for Permit and Deny How can I fix my search to get the unique count for Permit and Deny?

|  stats dc(id), count(eval(_raw LIKE "%Permit%")) as "Permit" , count(eval(_raw LIKE "%Deny%")) as "Deny" by username

thanks,

To count only unique Permit and Deny strings, use dc instead of count.

| stats dc(id), dc(eval(_raw LIKE "%Permit%")) as "Permit" , dc(eval(_raw LIKE "%Deny%")) as "Deny" by username
