How to get a dc on 2 fields?

mgao
Engager

I have two fields, "sender" and "recipient". I want to create a table that lists distinct sender-recipient pairs and the corresponding # of events for each pair. I can't think of how to use stats dc or dedup to do this. Any ideas?

How about this? This should give you "list of distinct sender-recipient pairs and the corresponding # of events for each pair"
