Hi @surekhasplunk,
you cannot filter events in the main search because, in this way, you cannot identify the Devices to exclude, try something like this:

 index=ABC 
| stats values(Device) AS Device count by Check
| where Check!=D 
| mvexpand Device

You need of mvexpand command because you could have more than one value in Device field.

Ciao.
