Splunk Search

Why is fieldformat not working if I don't include a certain value in the table?

here is my search, I'm trying to create a report that shows the error count, error percentage, and total transaction count...

| dedup TransactionID | stats count As ErrorCount by TransactionName  | appendcols [search Message="Calling ProcessRequest" | stats count as TotalTransactionCount by TransactionName ]|eval ErrorPerc= if (isnull(ErrorCount), 0, ErrorCount/TotalTransactionCount) | fieldformat ErrorPercentage = tostring(round(ErrorPerc,6)*100)."%" | Table TransactionName  ErrorPercentage ErrorCount ErrorPerc TotalTransactionCount | fillnull value=0 | sort -ErrorCount

If I don't include ErrorPerc in the table, ErrorPercentage shows up as null. I really don't want ErrorPerc in there since it's less readable and a duplicate of ErrorPercentage

Try this

| dedup TransactionID | stats count As ErrorCount by TransactionName | appendcols [search Message="Calling ProcessRequest" | stats count as TotalTransactionCount by TransactionName ]|eval ErrorPercentage = if (isnull(ErrorCount), 0, ErrorCount/TotalTransactionCount) | fieldformat ErrorPercentage=tostring(round(ErrorPercentage,6)*100)."%" | Table TransactionName ErrorPercentage ErrorCount TotalTransactionCount | fillnull value=0 | sort -ErrorCount
