Splunk Search

finding the percent difference between two searches

I have the below search. I'm trying to get the % difference between the first count which pulls from a CSV file and the second count which pulls form the splunk server. Yet the final statement doesn't seem to work properly.

|Inputlookup PSLSE_Inventory.csv | search AssetEnv=* | chart count  AS "Inventory" by AssetEnv| appendcols [search host=* AssetEnv=* | dedup host | chart count AS Reporting by AssetEnv] |appendcols [eval mypercentage = 100 * (count/Reporting) |chart count mypercentage]

Try this

|Inputlookup PSLSE_Inventory.csv | search AssetEnv= | chart count AS Inventory by AssetEnv| appendcols [search host=* AssetEnv=* | dedup host | chart count AS Reporting by AssetEnv] | eval mypercentage=(100*Inventory)/Reporting

OR

|Inputlookup PSLSE_Inventory.csv | search AssetEnv= | chart count AS Inventory by AssetEnv| join type=left AssetEnv [search host=* AssetEnv=* | dedup host | chart count AS Reporting by AssetEnv] | eval mypercentage=(100*Inventory )/Reporting

I am able to get 2 columns with the values I'm looking for but I would like to get the % difference between the 2.

Are you getting two column result with this? How is the value in count field, they come for all the events or some of them are blank

|Inputlookup PSLSE_Inventory.csv | search AssetEnv= | chart count AS "Inventory" by AssetEnv| join type=left AssetEnv [search host=* AssetEnv=* | dedup host | chart count AS Reporting by AssetEnv]
