One of my field in raw data is multivalue(like array) .
I can see those values in a column in Splunk , but when I try to export them to csv then
only the 1st value gets copied and rest disappears .

eg:
In Splunk

col1
val1 val2
val2 val3 val4

 

While exporting

col1
val1
val2

What command are you using to show the data like that in Splunk. What is your _raw field like in Splunk

How are you exporting? Using outputlookup or using the export command?

Can you apend

| eval count=mvcount(Col1)

to the search and say what the value of count is.

Thank you for replying :
My raw data is : 
{"col1":"1","col2":"2","col3":"3","col4":"4","b":[{"col5":"5","col6":["6"]},{"col5":"55","col6":["66","666"]}]}

What I wrote was like :

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="{\"col1\":\"1\",\"col2\":\"2\",\"col3\":\"3\",\"col4\":\"4\",\"b\":[{\"col5\":\"5\",\"col6\":[\"6\"]},{\"col5\":\"55\",\"col6\":[\"66\",\"666\"]}]}" | spath
| rename b{}.col5 as "col5", b{}.col6{} as "col6"
| eval col5=mvjoin(col5,", "), col6=mvjoin(col6, ", ")
| table col1 col2 col5 col6

Which Gave me like :

col1col2col5col6
125,556,66,666

 

But I want it like :

col1col2col5col6
1256
125566
1255666

You first need to expand the b array to multiple events then extract col5/6

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="{\"col1\":\"1\",\"col2\":\"2\",\"col3\":\"3\",\"col4\":\"4\",\"b\":[{\"col5\":\"5\",\"col6\":[\"6\"]},{\"col5\":\"55\",\"col6\":[\"66\",\"666\"]}]}" 
| eval col1=json_extract(_raw, "col1")
| eval col2=json_extract(_raw, "col2")
| eval b=json_array_to_mv(json_extract(_raw, "b"))
| table col1 col2 b
| mvexpand b
| spath input=b
| mvexpand col6{}
| rename col6{} as col6
| table col1 col2 col5 col6

so the col1/col2 extraction is done, then the b array is extracted to b field, which you then expand, so the col5/6 end up in the right related events.

Then expand the extracted col6 array
