Hello all, I know you can count distinct numbers/fields etc, but how do you go about flagging up non Distinct:- here is some data as an example.
Customer Number | Property ref.
001 | 15 <-
002 | 16
003 | 15 <-
004 | 17
Customer 001 and 003 have same property number, I want to 'Flag' these if they occur more than once, can anyone please provide formulae for such example please.
Paul.
try the folloing in the script: if(FiledName = previous(FieldName), 'N','Y') as Distinct Regards R
There are probably multiple ways to achieve what you want, load script based and front end only.
For example, you could create a list box with an expression (select <expression> from field list), then enter as expression:
=aggr(if(count([Property ref.])>1,[Customer Number]),[Customer Number])
Or create a list box for field [Customer Number], then add an expression (from expression tab):
if(count([Property ref.])>1,'Multiple','Once')
Hi,
For do it in load script
Main:
Load
*
From
DataSource;
Flag:
Load
[Property ref.],
If(Count([Property ref.]) > 1, 1, 0) AS Flag \\1 for non distinct, 0 for distinct
Resident
Main
Group by [Property ref.];
Hope it helps
Hi Swuehl,
if(count([Property ref.])>1,'Multiple','Once') looks promising, but when I go to the list box I cannot search by multiple, is there a way to make this searchable?
Paul.
Paul,
I noticed that my suggested expression won't work as provided (using just the customer as list box field).
So either create a flag in the script as suggested above, or do something similar in the front end, if needed:
=aggr(nodistinct if(count( PartNr)>1,'Multiple','Once'),PartNr)
Unfortunately, you can't search the expression values in a list box, but you can use a straight table with dimension Customer and above expression and make the expression searchable. But a straight table has some limitations and differences compared to a list box.
In a list box, you could create a combined Customer / Flag string to show and select from, maybe something like
=aggr(nodistinct num(CustomerNr,'000') &' - '& if(count( total<PartNr> PartNr)>1,'MANY','ONE'), PartNr,CustomerNr)
If you don't need to be selection sensitive, I would probably go for the script solution.
Regards,
Stefan
