inputlookup(csv) with Distinct_count

Hi There!
I have created a list of 2000 names in a CSV file. I am trying to get the phone numbers of these 2000 people using the below query,

index=*** event=contact [ | inputlookup names.csv | fields names ] | stats dc(phoneNumber) by names | fillnull value=0 names

When I do the distinct count I only get the names who are registered, but I need the remaining names - dc(phone_numbers) as 0, when I run the query.

 index=yours event=contact 
| inputlookup append=t names.csv 
| stats dc(phoneNumber) by names 

names.csv:

names

How about this. If your csv is not this format, fix it.

Thanks for your reply, but the above query is not taking the inputs from the file

Your query filters index=*** event=contact with names exist in lookup file. Use OR in the search like below.

index=*** event=contact OR [ | inputlookup names.csv | fields names ] | stats dc(phoneNumber) by names | fillnull value=0 names
