Splunk Search

result of makemv not as expected

With this search

index=useradmin sourcetype=role_capabilities
| eval capabilities=replace(capabilities,"\s",",")
| makemv delim="," capabilities
| table role capabilities

I expected a result like

role1 capability1

role1 capabiltity2

role1 capabitity3

role 2 capability1

instead I get

role 1 capabilty1

            capabilty2

            capabilty3

role 2 capability1

Probably my expectations of makemv are not correct but I can't find another command to make this work.

The reason I want it in this way is to get layout of the print of the dashboard I use this with properly.
