I wanna know if there's a way for Column 2 and Column 3 to have their 'Mother' header.

I'm really sorry if this was already asked, I just don't know the term to be used to search in this website. Please help.. I thank you in advance!

Have you tried header_field parameter?

Thanks for the response sir, it seems that someone already solved their problem without using header_field.

I don't get what he did... I'm sorry I'm still new in using splunk.

And sir, about your header_field. Can you please give me an example which uses _internal index?

sure.
Please execute below two searches. You can find the purpose of header_field in transpose.

index=_internal | stats count by sourcetype | transpose 


index=_internal | stats count by sourcetype | transpose header_field=sourcetype
