Hi All,  When using stats  to display values() of  fields , how can we have the values to align between the field names ?  For example
My Data set

Severity Status Count
P1 New 1
P1 Open 2
P1 Unassigned 3
P1 Closed 5


When using | stats values(status) as status, values(Count) as Count by severity
this is what i get.  Notice the count values are not as per dataset.

Severity Status Count
P1 New
Open
Unassigned
Closed
1
5
3
2


i did like the results of Count to align as per their Status field.

Expected Result

Severity Status Count
P1 New
Open
Unassigned
Closed
1
2
3
5

Hi @neerajs_81,

in values option, values are sorted in alphabetically way, so yu'll never had the correct alignment between  different fields, the only way is aggregate them before the stats command and separating them after, something like this:

<your_search>
| eval column=Status."|".Count
| stats values(column) AS column values(Status) AS Status BY Severity
| rex field=column "(?<Count>\d+)$"
| table Severity Status Count

I cannot test it but it should run!

Ciao.
