Hi @Abhineet,

the solution is using two times the lookup command:

<your_search>
| lookup workdayData.csv employeeNumber AS machineUserName OUTPUTS <lookup_columns>
| lookup workdayData.csv Email-ID AS machineUserName OUTPUTS <lookup_columns>
| ...

Only one addition information: don't use "-" in field names, it's better "_" becausae it could be interpretated as the subtraction operator.

Ciao.

two lookup statement on same lookup file, 

2nd lookup statement overriding first lookup statement output and making it null.
