Splunk Search

Problem with multiple rows in a table (extended statistic)

Hello,

I'm looking for a possibility to create a statistic like this one:

directupload.net/file/d/3630/jzf8nu84_png.htm

Is that possible with the splunk search language?
Greetings

That looks a lot like a stats count by Date Type User - it'll fill those empty cells as well, but that's cosmetic... and could be fixed in post.

You can add such sub-summary columns like this:

... | eventstats sum(count) by Date Type

For removing duplicate Date values you can do this:

... | streamstats current=f window=1 last(Date) as last_date | eval Date = if(Date == last_date, null, Date) | fields - last_date

It'll copy over the value from the previous row and discard the cell if it's equal to that.

All in all you are right with grouping by multiple fields!
Now I get 1 row foreach time and all cells filled.
But how can I fix that "cosmetic" issue in post?
And is it possible to add another column at the end that has just:

count(time) by Date Type

If I use appendcols with this count it appends the values at the wrong rows beginning at first row!

Thanks for help
