How to delete last row in a table?

Based on the layout, I hypothesize that the count column is in ascending order.  If it is so, find the maximum then compare each row with it.

| eventstats max(Count) as maxcount
| where Count < maxcount

Note the use of lowercase for the count field - if this clashes with your existing field names use alternative names e.g. streamstats count as row etc.

| streamstats count
| eventstats count as total
| where count != total
| fields - count total

This will eliminate the last result assuming your data is in descending order of Count

| makeresults 
``` Replicating your results ```
| eval Count="1,2,3,4,5,6" 
| eval Count=split(Count,",") 
| mvexpand Count 
| eval error_manager = "System"
| table Count error_manager
``` excluding or "deleting" 6 ```
|eventstats
|eval LastCount = 'max(Count)'
|where 'Count'!='LastCount'
|table Count error_manager

Hi @Kirthika , In order to remove 6 from the table we must exclude it, this could be done using either |where or |search , here's my example using search:

| makeresults
``` Replicating your results ```
| eval Count="1,2,3,4,5,6"
| eval Count=split(Count,",")
| mvexpand Count
| eval error_manager = "System"
| table Count error_manager
``` excluding or "deleting" 6 ```
|search NOT Count = 6

We need to remove last row. It shouldn't be based on value.
