Timechart with dedup of 2 fields

For my logs with IP and Vulnerability ID (VID), I have few duplicate values. Which I can easily remove with "dedup IP, VID". As this will only show single value in logs for an IP+VID combination.

But with timechart over 1 month it doesn't work, as if I dedup before timechart, it removes duplicate values and doesn't show exact results for every week.

I need dedup to run for every week separately under timechart to give correct results.

Currently running:

My main search.... | dedup IP, VID | timechart span=w@1w count

Results what I get with incorrect count:
_time ** ** count
2020-03-17 2224
2020-03-17 218
2020-03-17 689
2020-03-17 1432
2020-03-17 666

But actually if "dedup IP, VID" works separately for each week, then each week's result should be around 2000.

Thanks in advance.

Are you saying that you want to look at each week in isolation, dedup the IP and VIP in that week's group of events? If so, then try adding a "weekbreaker" field and deduping that before your timechart:
| eval weekbreaker=relative_time(_time, "@w") | dedup IP,VIP,weekbreaker

tried it, but it just shows Events, and no Statistics or Visualization to check results.

| makeresults count=20
| fillnull IP
| eval IP = 1
| accum IP as VID
| dedup IP VID

this is sample. try this and |dedup IP | dedup VID

your main search | bin _time span=w@1w  | stats dc(IP) as IP dc(VID) as VID by _time | addtotals

How about this?

Not this answer @to4kawa, but the answer you gave earlier worked. it seems you changed it to addtotals.

first but it doesn't seem to remove the duplicate values for IP and VID.
so, I amended.
second the answer you gave earlier worked.
Isn't it terrible?

First answer with makeresults doesn't give any results.

Second answer's logic I understand, but it doesn't seem to remove the duplicate values for IP and VID.
Maybe if you can help to modify second answer to remove duplicate values, it would work. I have tried few changes to your second answer, but no luck.

First answer with makeresults doesn't give any results.
my result:

IP  VID _time
1   1   2020/04/16 19:18:03
1   2   2020/04/16 19:18:03
1   3   2020/04/16 19:18:03
1   4   2020/04/16 19:18:03
1   5   2020/04/16 19:18:03

It works if I just change the sequence of _time in bin command.

main search...
| bin span=w@1w _time
| stats count by IP VID _time
| stats count by _time
