How to return associated fields based on stats command

I'm trying to return the associated fields based on a stats command. My stats command determines the minimum field value based on two other fields. I need the remaining fields associated with the record that has this minimum value.

For example, my data looks like this:

Project RequestID TaskID Resolution
   A        1       1      Fixed
   A        1       2    Withdrawn
   A        1       3     Deleted
   B        2       4     On Hold
   B        2       5     Created

I want to return a table like this:

Project RequestID TaskID Resolution
   A        1       1      Fixed
   B        2       4     On Hold

How is this achieved since stats requires you to either use a function or group by to return the values? I don't want either, I just need the associated fields based on the minimum value of another field.

Thanks!!

Try this:

<search that produces the table above> | eventstats min(TaskID) as min_task min(RequestID) as min_req by Project | where (RequestID=min_req AND TaskID=min_task) | fields - min*
