Put fields results under other fields

Hi,

I have my query that return a table with 4 fields: A1, B1, A2, A2. I want to create a new table that contains 2 fields: A and B.

example:
current table -
alt text

desired table -
alt text

I would like to achieve that without running on the events again and append the results.

is there an efficient way to do that?

thanks

hey try this run anywhere search

| makeresults 
| eval A1="1",B1="2",A2="3",B2="4" 
| append 
    [| makeresults 
    | eval A1="5",B1="6",A2="7",B2="8"] 
| append 
    [| makeresults 
    | eval A1="9",B1="10",A2="10",B2="11"] 
| eval A=A1+":"+B1,B=A2+":"+B2 
| table A B 
| eval C=mvzip(A,B) 
| makemv delim="," C 
| mvexpand C 
| rex field=C "(?<A>[^\:]+)\:(?<B>.*)" 
| table A B

In your environment, you should try

<table with columns A1,A2,B1,B2> 
| eval A=A1+":"+B1,B=A2+":"+B2 
| table A B 
| eval C=mvzip(A,B) 
| makemv delim="," C 
| mvexpand C 
| rex field=C "(?<A>[^\:]+)\:(?<B>.*)" 
| table A B

let me know if this helps!
