Given that you rename the 'Category(Cat)' and other fields to 'Cat' 'APP' and 'Desc' up front

Join the "key" fields together first, like this :

... | eval joined_fields=Cat.";".APP.";".Desc

Then chart

... | chart count over joined_fields by Datacenter

Then add your totals

... | addtotals

Then split up the joined fields again

... | rex field=joined_fields "(?<Cat>.*?);(?<APP>.*?);(?<Desc>.*)"

Finally remove the joined_fields from the output

... | fields - joined_fields
