How to get event count from current hour and previous hour by sourcetype and server/host

The goal is to compare the events from this hour vs the past hour. And then display a table by sourcetype, host, percent, difference, current count, previous hour count.

This is my query:

index=x sourcetype=* host=* earliest=-2h@h latest=now | eval period=if(_time>=relative_time(now(),"-1hr"),"current","previous") | chart count(sourcetype) over host by period | eval difference=current-previous | eval percent=(current/previous)*100| table sourcetype host percent difference current previous

The problem is, sourcetype column is blank and host column and count appears. It doesn't count by sourcetype and host. If I do "chart count(host) over sourcetype by period", only the host column would be blank and sourcetype will show and count on the table.
Example:

HOST SOURCETYPE PERCENT DIFFERENCE CURRENT PREVIOUS
x 100 0 1 1
Y 100 0 1 1
Z 100 0 1 1

Should be something like this:

HOST SOURCETYPE PERCENT DIFFERENCE CURRENT PREVIOUS
x A 100 0 1 1
Y B 100 0 1 1
Z A 100 0 1 1

Can you please try this?

index=x sourcetype=* host=* earliest=-2h@h latest=now 
| eval period=if(_time>=relative_time(now(),"-1hr"),"current","previous") 
| eval temp=host.",".sourcetype
| chart count over temp by period 
| eval difference=current-previous 
| eval percent=(current/previous)*100 | eval host=mvindex(split(temp,","),0),sourcetype=mvindex(split(temp,","),0) 
| table sourcetype host percent difference current previous
