Mapping by Zip code

When I am trying to map by Zipcode I get the stats table to genereate but when switching to geostats it takes 4 results from the stats table and makes it 39. Seems to be grouping by geobin instead of zip

Any ideas why this is happening?

index="indexA" servco_name="store*" servtype_id="CFAIL"
| rename zip_code as Zipcode
| lookup zip_code  Zipcode OUTPUT Lat Long
| geostats latfield=Lat longfield=Long  Sum(Count)

index="IndexA" servco_name="Store*" servtype_id="CFAIL"
| rename zip_code as Zipcode
| lookup zip_code  Zipcode OUTPUT Lat Long
| Stats Sum(Count) by Zipcode

I think you might just be missing a "BY" clause...

 index="indexA" servco_name="store*" servtype_id="CFAIL"
 | rename zip_code as Zipcode
 | lookup zip_code  Zipcode OUTPUT Lat Long
 | geostats latfield=Lat longfield=Long  Sum(Count) BY Zipcode

UPDATE:

index="indexA" servco_name="store*" servtype_id="CFAIL"
 | rename zip_code as Zipcode
 | stats Sum(Count)  as Count by Zipcode
 | lookup zip_code  Zipcode OUTPUT Lat Long
 | geostats latfield=Lat longfield=Long  values(Count) as Count  values(Zipcode) as Zipcode

how about this?

When I add that by Zipcode clause I still get more stats than events.

796 events, 344 stats when count by Zipcode but it create 1,427 map points using geostats

is that wrong?
Do you want to count by each Zipcode?

I would like to see number of events per Zipcode
This is how it show up with the geostats most of the geobins contains multiple zips.

geobin latitude longitude Zipcode
bin_id_zl_0_y_4_x_1 20.50500 -156.95500 96701
96740

bin_id_zl_0_y_5_x_1 35.54629 -108.64629 38637
50322

50613

Do you check Zipcode lat and lon are right?

Is this two searches or one? I also see that you're doing a sum of a count? Could you give some sample data and your desired output?

this is 2 searches The first one gives way extra results when mapping, the 2nd one gives the correct rollup.

I can't give the raw data due to privacy but in the data there is a field called zip_code, I use a lookup to get the lat and long associated with that zip and then want to map the events by zip.
