How did you get this result?

Why is 1 still repeated in your required result?

Since I wanted to know the flow of data from one sourcetype to another sourcetype.  Apparently, in my case, the data after existing a sourcetype can re enter the sourcetype at a later point of time.

Thank you

Sorry, I cant be using dedup, since that doesn't solve my purpose.
