hello,
i have a log like this:

time,type,field1,field3,field3,field4,field5,......

0102,A,2,3,4,1,3,...

0102,B,2,2,4,1,3,...

i want to show the result like below.

          A B

field1_name 2 2

field2_name 3 2

field3_name 4 4

..........

I tried to use apend, but the search is too long.

... type="A" | eval name="field1_name" | stats values(field1) as ta,values(name) as name | append [search ... type="A" | eval name="field2_name" | stats values(field2) as ta,values(name) as name ]| append [search ... type="A" | eval name="field3_name" | stats values(field3) as ta,values(name) as name ]| append [search ... type="B" | eval name="field1_name" | stats values(field1) as tb,values(name) as name | append [search ... type="B" | eval name="field2_name" | stats values(field2) as tb,values(name) as name ]| append [search ... type="B" | eval name="field3_name" | stats values(field3) as tb,values(name) as name ]| stats values(ta) as A,values(tb) as B by name

I'm looking to see if there more streamlined command.
Thanks a lot.

transpose other fields and rename columns as A,B .
for example
your search |table field1_name field2_name |transpose |rename row1 as A etc...

thank you a lot!

But there is a small problem.
the result will like below.

column row 1 row 2

tpye A B

field1_name 2 2

field2_name 3 2

....

I want the first line to hide
It's possible to reach it?

Thanks a lot again.

you should extract the fields separately and display all the fields except the type field and try transposing the result.. i mean avoid type field in table ..
