      Hi All,

      Please help with an advice as I am pretty new to qlik sense

      For each customers we have different promotions for different products.

      When loading the customer database, I want to obtain a new column called "Final Promo" based on the following rules:

      - I am keeping only the codes endind in 15, 16 or 17 with the priority in reverse (highest number will be kept)

      -Removing duplicates, if the same code apears more than once in the columns Promo 1 to Promo 4

       

      Thanks in advance for your support

          By transforming the source customer table of 6 rows by 5 columns into a 24 rows by 3 columns it will be easier to create the logic to pick the right promo for each customer:

           

          LOAD SCRIPT:

          Then using a Pivot Table and the expression

           

              SubField( Concat({<Code={"*15","*16*","*17"}>} Code,'|' , -Right(Code,2) ) ,'|' , 1 )

           

          for the Final Promo measure you can get this:
