Stats Command and timestamp

Hi ,

I am using a stats command with a "by" time field, but i am not getting the result.

If i remove the time field i am getting the desired result. 

I want all the fields in my outcome, how to obtain.

stats latest(et) as "ET" by status, id, starttime - If i remove this "starttime" i am getting the outcome but i need that also in my outcome. Can i put a separate table? but there also this column is not showing.

I want all these fields ET,Status,id,Startime

What to do?

Make sure the starttime field exists and has values in it.  The stats command will not produce results if one of the "by" fields is null.

It would help if you shared some sample data and a mock-up of the desired results.

Is that data sample complete?  If so, then the null fields explains why the stat command fails.
