actually what i want for any of the values in x the y shud either be y or n

this is the issue with the data ,

so may be if we can assign some integer values or so ,?

I guess, if you have a look into the data set in a broader view, you would probably be able to find a logic to decide upon - 'y' or 'n' - which to keep or even if they are at all irrelevant or not. If not, and you just can remove any of them, you could probably first identify the duplicates and remove them using exists() or distinct load or even hard code loading for the y field. Try to provide a sample data set (with similar to real data) to get more specific help on how to remove duplicates.

Hi

Try this

TestTable:

LOAD * INLINE [

    Col_X, Col_Y

    A, y,

    B, ny

    C, yn

    D, n

];

NoConcatenate

Table:

load Col_X,Col_Y

Resident TestTable

where Len(Col_Y)=1;

Concatenate

load Col_X, SubField(Left(Col_Y,1)&'/'&Right(Col_Y,1),'/') as Col_Y

Resident TestTable

where Len(Col_Y)=2;

Drop Table TestTable

ok,thanks so much for the help,

actually am using this coly values in my expressions as:count({$<Col_Y={'N'}>}Col_X)

count({$<Col_Y={'Y'}>}Col_X)

count(distinct Col_X), the total value here shud be sum of two abve ,

col_x has integer values
