Removing Duplicates

itahir04

Hi Team,

I have a training data set. A user can have a training status as "completed" and same training as "In progress". I would like to remove "training in progress" record, if that training has already been completed for same user.

I have 50 thousand record in real data set. Duplicates should be removed within each users data set, then look for same condition in another user's data. Please assist me here.

My sample Data set is attached.

 Thanks!

Hi @itahir04,

Thanks for your question! To achieve your desired result:

1. Sort data on "training status" such that training complete will come before training in progress (i.e. in descending order)

2. Use the 'Unique' tool to  de-dupe records. Use UserID and Training Title as the 'Unique' fields

See workflow below:

Let me know if you have any additional questions. 

Thanks!
