Sum of duration problem

I created some of the columns using regex. So all of the codes for the regex needs to be included. I would like to find the total duration based on StationName.

StationName          Duration

ABC123                        100

ABC123                        200

ABC456                         50

 

When I pasted this query at the end of my codes, it only shows the StationName but the sum of Duration column is empty. How can I get the sum of duration based on StationName?

| stats sum(Duration) by StationName

Can you post your regex that creates Duration - it's probably because the Duration contains non numeric data and your Duration field is not a number

Try this before stats - this will make Duration a number if it has leading/trailing spaces.

| eval Duration=tonumber(trim(Duration))
