How to compare the values of dynamic column?

Hello Splunkers,

My search executes monthly, over a period of 3 months data, since march is going on my last 3 months would be Dec, Jan and Feb. Now in the Trend column, i need the difference of Previous 2 months by Priority.

As the month succeeds, the column name would also change.

Also, can i show the difference with pictorial view?

Like for High, it should be downward arrow as percentage decreased by 3, for Medium it should be linear arrow, for Low it should be upward arrow, as it increased by 1%.

Thanks in Advance for your time 🙂

Cheers,

....
| streamstats window=2 first(eval(rtrim(Percent,"%"))) as p_perc by Priority
| eval trend=rtrim(Percent,"%") - p_perc
| eventstats last(trend) as Trend by Priority
| eval Priority=Priority."_".Trend
| xyseries Priority month Percent
| rex field=Priority "(?<Priority>.*)_(?<Trend>.*)"

 There is only the image data, so I haven't tried it.

Incorrect query.
Aggregate by stats, not by timechart
If you use autoregress and eval, you should be fine.

@to4kawa 

i have to use chart, because the desired format is snap what i shared.

do we have functionality like to compare the values of column wrt column number?

using stats looks like:
