Assuming that the CSV fields are known to Splunk in the manner you state;

...| eval full_type = type . "(" . subtype . ")" | table full_type, name, sal

As you can see, this is a quite simple operation (just doing some string manipulation, and then tabulating it). Like jonuwz and Ayn says, please provide more complex data, if this solution is not good enough.

Hope this helps,

Kristian

Please show us what the desired output would be in that more complex scenario.

The sample output you require is just reformatting the event data you already have - there's no joins or group by.

Perhaps you could give a sample output when there is more than one of human(male) and/or more than one of human(female)
