Flag Records based on activity.

Project ID TimeStamp Flag
ABC 01/01/2023  
DEF 03/01/2023  
DEF 04/01/2023  
XYZ 01/01/2023  
XYZ 02/01/2023  
XYZ 03/01/2023  
XYZ 04/01/2023  

 

How to Flag Records that are deleted and Inserted ? In the above ex: ABC is deleted from Feb and DEF is added in March.How can I identify that ? XYZ has remained the same.

Hi @SariPari ,

There where 2 mistakes in the script. Firstly, the left join was not correctly done, you had to consider ProjectID & Timestamp to get the flag correctly mapped in the 1st phase. Secondly, there were slight adjustments to the where statements which i did at my end & now it is showing properly, refer attached image & qvf :

You can a final resident & change that "Deleted next month" to "Active" using an if statement, if you require. Kindly check & let me know if any issues.

 

Regards,

Rohan.

Hi,

Try this way

Table:
load * inline
[
ProjectID TimeStamp
ABC 01/01/2023
ABC 02/01/2023
DEF 03/01/2023
DEF 04/01/2023
XYZ 01/01/2023
XYZ 02/01/2023
XYZ 03/01/2023
XYZ 04/01/2023
](delimiter is ' ');


Lastvalue_Table:
load LastValue(ProjectID) as ProjectID_Latest,
LastValue(TimeStamp) as Date
Resident Table
Order by TimeStamp;

 

 

Then In Dimension use this,

=if(ProjectID=ProjectID_Latest,'Live','Deleted')

Dear Sari,

Firstly you will have to figure out the 1st entry of a new Project & the Last entry of the existing project. ie :

Load 

ProjectID,

max(Timestamp) as Last,

min(Timestamp) as first

resident Data group by ProjectID;

 

Then you will have to left join this into your Data & use the following If :

if(Timestamp=first,'New Addition',

if(Timestamp=last,'Deleted next month', 'Active')) as Flag

 

I hope this will solve your query. Revert if any issues.

 

Regards,

Rohan.

You could also directly flag the relevant records in your code (TS conversion only to get MM/DD/YYYY working on my system):

Table:
LOAD * INLINE [
ProjectID TimeStamp
	ABC 01/01/2023
	ABC 02/01/2023
	DEF 03/01/2023
	DEF 04/01/2023
	XYZ 01/01/2023
	XYZ 02/01/2023
	XYZ 03/01/2023
	XYZ 04/01/2023
] (delimiter is ' ');

Data:
NOCONCATENATE LOAD
	ProjectID,
	Date(Date#(TimeStamp, 'MM/DD/YYYY')) AS TimeStamp
RESIDENT
	Table;

LEFT JOIN (Data) LOAD
	ProjectID,
	True() AS isMinTS,
	Date(Min(TimeStamp), 'MM/DD/YYYY') AS TimeStamp
RESIDENT
	Data
GROUP BY
	ProjectID,
    True();

LEFT JOIN (Data) LOAD
	ProjectID,
	True() AS isMaxTS,
	Date(Max(TimeStamp), 'MM/DD/YYYY') AS TimeStamp
RESIDENT
	Data
GROUP BY
	ProjectID,
    True();

DROP TABLE Table;

 This code flags the first and last entry for each value of ProjectID:

With that you can then take it further and create more flags that you need.

@SariPari I will suggest doing all this Audit from database (Ask Admin to get that in your schema) and you can pull. Because DML operation very much flexible in DB side.

Tried this but this did not work

Data:
load * inline
[
ProjectID TimeStamp
ABC 01/01/2023
ABC 02/01/2023
DEF 03/01/2023
DEF 04/01/2023
XYZ 01/01/2023
XYZ 02/01/2023
XYZ 03/01/2023
XYZ 04/01/2023
](delimiter is ' ');

TableTmp:
Load

ProjectID,
TimeStamp as Timestamp

resident Data;
Drop Table Data;

left join TableTmp:
Load

ProjectID,

max(Timestamp) as Last,
min(Timestamp) as First

resident TableTmp group by ProjectID;

Table:
Load

ProjectID,
Timestamp AS TimeStamp,
Last,
First

Resident TableTmp;

LEFT JOIN Table:
lOAD

ProjectID,

if(TimeStamp = First,'New Addition',
if(TimeStamp = Last,'Deleted next month', 'Active')) as Flag

Resident Table;
drop table TableTmp;

exit Script;

Try something like this,

tab1:
LOAD * INLINE [
    Project ID, TimeStamp
    ABC, 01/01/2023
    ABC, 02/01/2023
    DEF, 03/01/2023
    DEF, 04/01/2023
    XYZ, 01/01/2023
    XYZ, 02/01/2023
    XYZ, 03/01/2023
    XYZ, 04/01/2023
];

Left Join(tab1)
LOAD Date(Max(TimeStamp)) As MaxDt
Resident tab1;

Left Join(tab1)
LOAD [Project ID], FirstSortedValue(TimeStamp,TimeStamp) As F1, FirstSortedValue(TimeStamp,-TimeStamp) As F2
Resident tab1
Group By [Project ID];

Left Join(tab1)
LOAD [Project ID], TimeStamp, If(F1=TimeStamp,'Inserted', If(F2=TimeStamp And F2<>MaxDt,'Deleted')) As Flag
Resident tab1;

Thnak you so much..this almost worked based on the requirement.

Now they are aksing when the record is not in the entry.

Ex: ABC is only in Jan but not in Feb.Can this be flaged as deleted even when there is not entry ?

Project ID TimeStamp TimeStampNew Flag
ABC 01/01/2023 01/01/2023 Inserted 
    02/01/2023 Deleted
DEF 03/01/2023 03/01/2023 Inserted 
DEF 04/01/2023 04/01/2023  
XYZ 01/01/2023 01/01/2023 Inserted 
XYZ 02/01/2023 02/01/2023  
XYZ 03/01/2023 03/01/2023  
XYZ 04/01/2023 04/01/2023

Hi Sari,

If you want an additional entry for the deleted ones, then simply add this code in your final script;

Noconcatenate

Final_Data:

Load *,Timestamp as TimestampNew

Resident Data;

*This part will handle the scenarios where the Project was active for atleast 2 months*

Concatenate(Final_Data)

Load *, date(addmonths(Timestamp,1)) as TimestampNew

Resident Data where Flag='Deleted';

*If project was active only for a single month*

Concatenate(Final_Data)

Load *, date(addmonths(Timestamp,1)) as TimestampNew

Resident Data where Flag='Inserted' and MinDate=MaxDate;

Drop table Data;

 

 

Regards,

Rohan.
