How to extract 2 multivalue fields and search the list of each fieldA that has more than one fieldB?

From following search result - I want to extract User-Name and Calling-Station-Id, and both fields have multiple values. Once I am able to extract the fields, I will then need to find the list of Calling-Station-Id and User-Name, that meets following criteria :
"The same Calling-Station-Id has more than one User-Name". I will then need to see the trend of new Calling-Station-Id that matches this criteria. What's the best way to address this problem? Can anyone please help ?

I didn't it test it at all, but something like this maybe.

[your initial search] | rex "User-Name\)=\((?<user>[^\)]+)" | rex "Calling-Station-Id\)=\((?<station>[^\)]+)" | stats dc(user) as user_count by station | where user_count > 1

Thanks this worked. the 2nd thing I wanted to do is to chart (may be timechart) the station counts by time. This way I can tell how many new stations are matching this criteria over time.

I'm not sure how many stations you have, so the chart could be a little busy, but maybe just something like this?

[your initial search] | rex "User-Name)=((?[^)]+)" | rex "Calling-Station-Id)=((?[^)]+)" | timechart dc(user) as user_count by station

You could still pipe to where at the end too if you only want to see those that stations that have multiple users. It's really just a matter of exactly what you want to see on the timechart.

Assuming you already have the field-extractions working, this will work for the first part:

... | stats dc(User-Name) AS numUsers values(User-Name) AS UserNames BY Calling-Station-Id | where users > 1

As for this part:

I will then need to see the trend of new Calling-Station-Id that matches this criteria.

I have no idea what you mean; you will have to be much more clear.
