I am trying to split the values in both the columns and create 5 rows by assigning respective values. I need an output as below. Can someone suggest how can I achieve this ? 

I tried mvexpand but it does not seem to help. Anything else we can try ? 

 

field1       | field 2 

-------------------------------

Name 1   |  10

-------------------------------

Name 2   | 12

How about something like this?

| eval tmp_field = mvzip(field1, field2, "-|-")
| fields - field1, field2
| mvexpand tmp_field
| makemv delim="-|-" tmp_field
| eval field1 = mvindex(tmp_field, 0)
| eval field2 = mvindex(tmp_field, 1)
| fields - tmp_field
