HI

Can you please try this?

YOUR_SEARCH
| eval myfield=mvfilter(myfield>44) 
| eval n=mvcount(myfield)

My Sample search:

| makeresults 
| eval myfield="10,20,30,40" 
| makemv delim="," myfield 
| eval myfield=mvfilter(myfield>20) 
| eval n=mvcount(myfield)

It works,thank you!
While I have another question, it seems that splunk parse the float to string sometimes, and because of this problem, the mvfilter function may become invalid. How can I solve it in this situation?

I'm sorry that I don't have the sample data. When I tried to solve the question I asked ,I used nomv() method and found that the single value's type is string. Therefore, I asked the following question.
