How to Check if value exists with date

Dear All,

I am trying to find if Current week "Number" exist in pervious week "Number".

I try to use Exists & match but no use.

Dat:

LOAD [Date],

[Number],

   

    Match(if([Date]>Today()-6,[Number]),if([Date]<=Today()-6,[Number])) as "Repeated"

   

FROM [lib://Dat.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet2);

The previous loaded records could you check with Peek() or Previous() ? maybe in this way:

...

if(Number = previous(Number), 'then', 'else') as Check

...

Need to understand the scenario here

what if the "Number" exist in previous week and also the week before what then?

What are you trying to achieve with this flag?

Hi Vineeth,

I trying to find weather current week numbers exist in past or not.

if you want to see anywhere in the past and not specifically a set period in the past then use  Autonumber()

RepeatCount:

LOAD Date,

     Number,

     AutoNumber(Number&Date,Number) as RepeatedCount

FROM

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet2);

Any Number that has RepeatedCount > 1 is a repeat.

Perhaps like this:

LOAD

     Number,

     if(Exist(Number), 'We've seen this number before', 'Never seen it before') as DidThisNumberExistAlready,

     ...other fields

FROM

     ....source data....

     ;

I hope this attachment will help.

Same I am trying to do it in Qlik Sense editor

Applied below rules, but not exact results.

if([Date]>Today()-6,if(Exists([Number]), 'We have seen this number before', 'Never seen it before')) as Flag1,

if(match(if([Date]>Today()-6,[Number]),if([Date]<>Today()-6,[Number]))>0,'y','n') as Flag2,   

if(([Date]>Today()-6),if(match([Number],(if([Date]<=Today()-6,[Number])))>0,'y','n'),'No') As Flag3,

 

AutoNumber(Number&Date,Number) as Flag4
