Hi splunkers,

I have a search, which return a field called duration. The field durantion is like 03/2013 (%m/%y). I would like to sort these values.

When I runs my search, I have following values:

(...) | stats count by duration | sort - duration

12/2013  1
11/2013  1
10/2013  1
09/2013  1
08/2013  1
07/2014  1 *** Look my problem
07/2013  1 ***
06/2014  1
05/2014  1 
04/2014  1
03/2014  1
02/2014  1
01/2014      1

Any idea?

Cheers!

Try this

source="C:\...\teste.csv" | eval datetime = strptime("01/".duration,"%d/%m/%Y") | chart count over datetime by gender | fieldformat datetime=strftime(datetime,"%m/%Y")

The strptime needs day part as well to work.

Iguinn,

When I runs source="C:...\teste.csv"
| eval datetime = strptime(duration,"%m/%Y") , I saw that datetime field is not create. I believe that is my problem.

Tks!

Hey Iguinn,

Thank you for your response, but when I use the chart command it doesn't work.

I created a csv file to replicate the problem in the customer, for example:

date gender
01/2014 F
01/2013 M
01/2014 F
01/2014 M
11/2013 F
11/2013 M
10/2013 F
10/2014 M
10/2013 F
09/2013 F
09/2013 M
09/2013 F

I want to create a chart for analyze the gender and period.

This is my search:

source="C:\...\teste.csv" | chart count over duration by gender | sort duration
