I have two lookups B1.csv and B2.csv. B1 has block member and B2 has block id and both have one same column departments. I want to compare these both with departments and get matching values of Block member and BLOCK ID. I also have index Z from which I am done search along with my two looks ups 

B1:
BlockMember --- Department--email
B2:
BlockID --Department

Index and B1 has email as same values so I used "lookup B1.csv" email command and got block member in my table but now I am not sure how to get blockid from b2. 

My current search

index=Z  pipename=static-website*
|lookup b1 email
|rename member AS BlockMember (got this blockmember from above lookup b1 using email from my index)
|stats count by grid BlockMember  Status

current table:
grid----status--Blockmember

so my future table should be 
grid----status--BlockID--Blockmember(which will have same department)

The two lookups can be matched using inputlookup and stats.

| inputlookup B1.csv
| inputlookup append=true B2.csv
| stats values(*) as * by Department

Thanks but I also have an index that does the lookup with B1. I had updated my question above .. can you check and suggest ?

Just add another lookup command for B2.  It looks like it doesn't matter, though, since the query only uses the grid, member, and Status fields.

index=Z  pipename=static-website*
|lookup b1 email
|lookup b2 department
|rename member AS BlockMember (got this blockmember from above lookup b1 using email from my index)
|stats count by grid BlockMember  Status
