Hello again splunk experts

This is my current situation:-

job_no                field4
131                      string1 
                              string2

132                      string3
                              string4

|table job_no, field2, field4|dedup, job_no, field2
|stats count dc(field4) AS dc_field4 by job_no
|eval calc=dc_field4 * count

produces:-

job_no                                       field2                                        dc_field4                              calc

1316212
1326212

This all works fine.  The problem is that I also want to include the strings (string1,string2,string3,string4) in my table. 

Like this:-

job_no                                                                   field4                                                               field2       dc_field4     calc

131string1, string26212
132string3, string46212

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Tell the stats command you want the values of field4.

|fields job_no, field2, field4
|dedup job_no, field2
|stats count, dc(field4) AS dc_field4, values(field4) as field4 by job_no
|eval calc=dc_field4 * count
