How to achieve search that If count is less than 0 change it to 0?

Can someone please help me with this.

 I have looking for a query so that if count is less than 0 change it to 0, otherwise display actual count.

for example, if the count is -23, the result should be count=0 and if the count is 23, the result should be count=23.

Hi @Skysurfer,

it's hard for me to imagine that a count can be less then zero!

If anyway, you mean a sum called count, you can use an eval like this:

| eval count=if(count>0,count,0)

Ciao.

@gcusello @Thank you, it worked.

Shouldn’t have put it as count as count itself has a different meaning in splunk. It was actually  a field value that I was getting by doing some stats sum.
