Hi
I am trying to extract data from 2 multivalue fields and trying to form key value pair, for example, I have data something like below

_time,    field1 ,     field2
10000,  x:y:z         10:20:30
10001,  a:b:c         40:50:60

I want to extract data something like this

10000, x 10
10000, y 20
10000, z 30
10001, a 40
10001, b 50
10001, c 60

I tried with makemv but not able to get the result in above format. any input is really appreciated. Thanks.
