Thanks :).

I try with your solution but I think it's false again. I am a trainee and I try to do my best. So just bear with me. ( and with my English :))

eval Personnel =case(Agent == null() , "Messagerie", Agent ==("aa*" OR "bb*"), "AC", Agent=="*",TECHNICIENS) |stats count by Personnel

The last Agent is for give the reste of the values

Give this a try

eval Personnel =case(isnull(Agent) , "Messagerie", like(Agent,"aa%") OR like(Agent,"bb%"), "AC", 1=1,TECHNICIENS) |stats count by Personnel

So,
If Agent is null - Personnel=Messagerie
if Agent="aa*" OR Agent="bb*"(in search * is wildcard, for like function in eval , % is wildcard), Personnel=AC
For all other cases, Personnel=TECHNICIENS

(field="value1", "value2") is not a valid eval expression. If you're looking for a list of possible values, you will need to spell them out explicitly like this: (field="value1" OR field="value2").

Similarly, if() only takes three arguments - the condition, the then-value, and the else value. If you're trying to test several conditions and yield a different result for each condition, you'll want to use case() like this: case(condition1, value1, condition2, value2, ...)
