Hi All,

Following is my source table (pelase consider the first 2 fields:- Value and Root_Value only):- alt text

I want to find the count of values based on root values and store it a new field Count_Root_Values.The output should look like this
alt text

In excel, there is formulla for it :- =IF(COUNTIF(B$2:B2; B2)=1;COUNTIF(B:B; B2);TEXT(;)) .
In Splunk, I am trying to use the eval to generate the new field and stats count(Value) by ROOT_Value to find the number. But I really missing the iterative process to fin the count only once.

Try:
| stats count as Count_Root_values by ROOT_value

If you want to keep the original data as well, you could try eventstats instead of stats. But that will not give you the exact result from your example, as it will put the count on each row. Why exactly is that a problem?
