Need help with a Splunk query  to display % failures for each day during the time range selected

% failures = A1/A2 *100

A1= Total number of events returned by the below query:

index="abc"  "searchTermForA1"

 

A2= Total number of events returned by the below query:

index="xyz"  "searchTermForA2"

 

Expected Output:

-------Date-------|--------A1-------------|------A2----------|-----% failures-------

Separate rows in the result set for date 1-Jul, 2-Jul, 3-Jul, 4-Jul, 5-Jul, 6-Jul and 7-Jul, for time range selected as 1Jul to 7-Jul.

Please help with the query.

Thanks!

@ITWhisperer  Thanks for the reply! 

I also have a scenario where I need to find % failure for each day during the time range selected, for same index but different search term

% failures = A1/A2 *100

A1= Total number of events returned by the below query:

index="abc"  "searchTermForA1"

 

A2= Total number of events returned by the below query:

index="abc"  "searchTermForA2"

Please help.

It will depend on what "searchTermForA1" and "searchTermForA2" actually are and possibly what your events actually look like

searchTermForA1 = "A1_API_Failed"

searchTermForA2="TESTSTRING" "https://aaa.com/v1/?bbb"
