So, you do 

| stats count by user group "connection method"

if those are the names of your fields.

If you have a field called “connection method” you must surround it with ’ (use single ‘ in both side of field name). This told to splunk that those are field name, not two separate fields.

|stats count by username, group, 'connection method'

@isoutamo actually no, in stats for that type of field name it requires double quotes. It's eval that requires single quotes on RHS of expression.

Thanx, I usually rename those fields as remove spaces. In that way it’s much easier to use those.

What does that mean and what have you tried that you need help with and what is not doing what you expect?
