Hi @SN1 

Are you wanting to get rid of duplicates? e.g. so that only EMEA only appears once for bar-t1001.homag-group?

If so I think the following might help

| stats values(*) AS * by DeviceName

Please let me know how you get on and consider adding karma to this or any other answer if it has helped.
Regards

Will

To expand the Region field into individual rows for each value, you can use the makemv command to convert the Region field into a multivalue field (if it's not already) and then use mvexpand to generate a row for each value.

makemv: Converts the Region field into a multivalue field using the comma as a delimiter.
mvexpand: Expands each multivalue Region into separate rows.
 
| makeresults count=5
| eval DeviceName = "mt_20736887n11.homag.com", Region = "NA,EMEA", DeviceType = "Workstation", OSType = "Windows10", OSVersion = "10.0"
| append [| makeresults count=1 | eval DeviceName = "par-t-1801.homag-group", Region = "EMEA", DeviceType = "Workstation", OSType = "Linux", OSVersion = "null"]
| append [| makeresults count=1 | eval DeviceName = "usbrelais.homag.com", Region = "NA", DeviceType = "Workstation", OSType = "Windows10", OSVersion = "10.0"]
| makemv delim="," Region
| mvexpand Region
| table DeviceName Region DeviceType OSType OSVersion
