Hello,

I need your help.
I have a field which contains multivalue.
Example:
Table


Foo


in cash


foo
in cash


I need a way to only display events that have foo and bar in this field. I tried to count the values and filter them accordingly but it doesn't work.

@mklhs ,

Try

your search |where isnotnull(mvfind(field_name,"foo")) AND isnotnull(mvfind(field_name,"bar"))

Please note that the argument to mvfind is REGEX . So based on your field value, you may combine that with regex as well
