i want a third column like this(having values of collumn1 which are in collumn 2)

Collumn 1      collumn 2        collumn 3
A                           A                                 A

I am trying not to use mvexapnd in splunk8
Also I cannot use "makeresult" command since it has to be the first command in my search,which in my case is not.

I don't know what your query is.
It's a query that everyone can do.
