I need help formatting a mulitvalue field, the desired output below, followed by data in the field.

For the data in each event, we need 5 field-values in each row, hope this makes sense...

Desired output:

_time Field-Name
2019-09-25 13:45:15.810 000101194,000005090,000000845,000962003
000962000,000962002,000962004,000024909
000962001,000038594
_time Field-Name
2019-09-25 13:47:15.810 000101194,000005090,000000845,000962003
000962000,000962002,000962004,000024909
000962001,000038594,000962004,000024909
Data In field

000101194;000005090;000000845;000962003;000962000;000962002;000962004;000024909;000962001;000038594
000101194;000005090;000000845;000962003;000962000;000962002;000962004;000024909;000962001;000038594;000962001;00003859
