How do I remove a particular row from my stats command based on the value of another row?

source="something_source" topic="something_topic1" OR topic="something_topic2" earliest = "-1d" client="cpu1305" | stats latest(msg) as Valuess by topic

Now, this search returns suppose like below:

**topic**                                                              **Valuess**
something_topic1                                                        3
something_topic2                                                        7

Here, if the value of something_topic1 is say 3, then i only want to display the row 'something_topic2', else I want to simply remove this row( 'something_topic2') from my stats result
