You can eval the field and define logic as per your requirement. Please check below search.

YOUR_SEARCH
| eval status=if(accounttype=="Human_Account" and status="InActive",null(),status)

 

Here, I have nullified status column if account type is Human_Account and status is InActive.

You can change if condition as per your requirement.

My Sample Search :

 

| makeresults | eval _raw="accounttype,status,count
Human_Account,Active,1333
Human_Account,InActive,106
Generic_Account,Active,50
Service_Account,InActive,540" | multikv forceheader=1
|table accounttype                status           count
| rename comment as "Upto now is for sample data only"
| eval status=if(accounttype=="Human_Account" and status="InActive",null(),status)
