Hi @abdul,

the lookup command associates the lookup values only to the key values that are in the search results, so, if you haven't results, you cannot associate any lookup value.

You can reach your target with a different approach:

index=UA sourcetype=apps appname="xyz*"
| fields EID
| dedup EID
| lookup employee.csv EID as EID
| search MID in (M1,M2,M3 M4,M5,M6)
| stats count(EID) as EID by MID
| append [ | inputlookup employee.csv | eval count=0 | dedup MID | fields MID count ]
| stats sum(EID) AS total BY MID

In this way you add to your search the condition for the MID not present in the search results.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
