Hi Experts,

I have a inputlookup file which consists of two fields i,e _time and names fields as shown below,

_time names
02/02/2020 user1
user2
08/02/2020 user1
user2
user3
10/02/2020 user2

I want to expand multi value filed i.e, names filed and show unique users list based on time, i tried |inputlookup filename.csv |stats values(names) as name |mvexpand name |dedup name |table name| sort - name but not worked for me,.
Please help on this, Thanks in advance.
