Splunk Search

lookup based on 2 fields not working

i have created a lookup.csv file as below and uploaded the file.
then i have created lookup definition with this particular file.
then i have created a automatic lookup where the lookup input fields are hostname and technology and the lookup output fields is gold.

Gold.csv
technology hostname gold
OS stc08a00 sts08a00
OS std08a00 sts08a00
OS std08a01 sts08a00
OS sts08a00 sts08a00
SAP stc08a00 sts08a00
SAP std08a00 sts08a00
SAP std08a01 sts08a00
SAP sts08a00 sts08a00

now when i write a search to get the gold of SAP, its not returning any gold value but when i search for OS it works.
query and results:
index="abc" technology=OS | table hostname,gold
host gold
1 std08a01 sts08a00
2 stc08a00 sts08a00
3 std08a01 sts08a00
4 stc08a00 sts08a00
5 std08a00 sts08a00
6 sts08a00

7 std08a00 sts08a00
8 sts08a00

index="abc" technology=SAP| table hostname,gold

host    gold

1 std08a01

2 stc08a00

3 std08a00

4 stc08a00

5 sts08a00

6 std08a00

7 std08a01

8 sts08a00

please let me know where i am going wrong. doesnt lookup work when we use 2 fields as input?

it worked, the issue was in the data where i had the field name as host instead of hostname. fixing that fixed the lookup
