Splunk Search

How do I compare one field from multiple results over time?

I'm pretty new to Splunk and have been messing around with searches. However, I am struggling to get to grips with what I want to do. Is anyone able to help me please?

For this data:
20181012-163322 IagoAspas 2.15 2.09 190 Forward 78 CeltaVigo

We have the following fields:
Date Name BP SP Rank Position PosRank Club

This data gets ingested 3 times a minute, at 20 second intervals. The BP, SP, Rank & PosRank fields can change with each result.
If I wanted to compare the BP field over time for every result where Name is equal to IagoAspas, how could I do this, and then:

a) plot it on a line graph

and

b) alert when the BP field value has increased by 5% in the last 10 minutes worth of results (i.e. 3 results a minute, 30 results every 10)

@luke222010,

Does this work for you ?

a . "your search to get the fields"|chart values(BP) over Date by Name    

b.  "your search to get the fields" |stats first(BP) as start,last(BP) as last by Name|eval diff=((last-start)/start)*100|where diff > 5

Sample data used

Date, Name, BP, SP, Rank ,Position ,PosRank ,Club
