Hi,  
I'm trying to create a data table visualization from a log that contains 2 arrays.  
For example, the log has 2 fields which are a and b. In the Discover page, it will show

field value  
a aa,bb,cc,dd  
b 1,2,3,4  
\*\* _note_ this data is contained in single log\*\*

What I want to show is

**column a column b count**  
aa 1 1  
bb 2 1  
cc 3 1  
dd 4 1

What I get is

**column a column b count**  
aa 1 1  
aa 2 1  
aa 3 1  
aa 4 1  
bb 1 1  
bb 2 1  
bb 3 1  
bb 4 1  
cc 1 1  
cc 2 1  
cc 3 1  
cc 4 1  
dd 1 1  
dd 2 1  
dd 3 1  
dd 4 1

If it's possible to do what I want?

Thank you in advance for your reply,  
Dawit

To clarify, you want a set of keys that contain `a[i] b[i]`.

If so, you can solve this one of two ways. On the ingest side, you could transform your documents to merge a and b into a single array `["a[0] b[0]", "a[1] b[1]",... ]`. Then you could just create a data table for this new field.

You could also use a [scripted field](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html) to create this new field.
