Automatically Group by "All" as columns are removed/added

[csh8428]

I have a workflow where I'm using the summarize tool to remove duplicate records before the data is exported by grouping by all columns. The fields that go into the Summarize tool change over time(some are added and some are removed). 

I was wondering how I could get the summarize tool to always "Group by All Columns" without me having to go in and re-do the "Group By" each time a column is removed or added.

I tried playing around with combinations of Transpose and Cross Tab, but couldn't make it work.

Thanks,

Craig

Have you tried using the Unique tool?  If all you're doing is removing duplicates this would be much easier than a summarise.  It won't automatically update when fields are removed or added, but it does have a Select All option to make it easy.

@Christina_H I did think of this, but was hoping for a complete "set it and forget" it option. If I don't wind up with a "set it and forget it" option I will probably go with the Unique tool.

It looks like there are some possible solutions here:
