stats count host. Below search only returning "Server and Count" not the Desktop.

index| dedup host | eval "Type"=case(host=="xxx*","Desktop", host!="xxx*","Server") | stats count(host) by Type |  rename count(host) AS Count | table Type Count

Need two row with Server & Desktop. If the host name starts with xxx its Desktop else its Server with count displayed
